Bishop High Sierra Ultras

The Bishop High Sierra Ultras, held at Millpond Recreation Area in Bishop, California, offers challenging high-altitude trail races including 6K, 20 Mile, 53K, 50 Mile, and 100K distances. The courses traverse scenic Eastern Sierra Nevada foothills, primarily on 4WD dirt roads with some single-track and pavement sections. Runners face exposed, often hot and dry conditions with significant climbing, with much of the longer courses above 7,000 feet elevation. Aid stations are well-stocked with diverse food, drinks, and medical support. The event supports local youth outdoor programs and search and rescue, providing a rewarding experience with handmade finisher medallions and prizes for overall winners.
