Harding Hustle
Harding Hustle is a trail running event held on July 24, 2027, at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon within the Cleveland National Forest near Silverado, California. The event offers multiple distances on the Harding Truck Trail.
- 50K
- 30K
- 15K
The courses use the Harding Truck Trail jeep road. The 30K and 15K are out-and-back formats on the jeep road; the 50K runs mostly on the Harding Truck Trail and reaches the higher Santiago and Mojeska ridge areas. The 50K’s published total elevation gain is 5,926 feet with a maximum elevation near 5,661 feet. The 30K and 15K courses include substantial climbing as well, with published total elevation gains of about 3,482 feet and 2,088 feet respectively.
Aid stations are placed along the routes; some locations are listed as full aid while others provide water only. Because several aid stations are remote, on-course crew support is not allowed and pacers are not permitted. There are established cutoffs at specific aid stations for the longer course.
Logistics note that parking is not permitted at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary and runners must use the shuttle from Oakley Lower Parking Lot. Spectators are limited in number and must use designated shuttle parking. July weather is typically hot and dry; participants are advised the event may require a minimum water capacity and recommends carrying at least one liter between aid stations.
