Blood, Sweat and Beers Trail Run
The Blood, Sweat and Beers Trail Run takes place in Auburn, CA, with start and finish at Railhead Park. It is the second race in a three-part trail series and is presented by Altra. The course sits in the American River Canyon and offers views of the American River below.
The event offers two course options:
- 10.5 miles
- 5.9 miles
Both courses follow a mix of single-track mountainous trails, a canal section, unimproved dirt roads, and short stretches of paved road. The route includes named climbs known as Cardiac and Last Gasp. Packet pick-up is available at Fleet Feet in Sacramento and at Railhead Park on race day; friends may pick up packets on behalf of participants.
Participants receive a gender-specific technical shirt and a custom finisher medal. Post-race provisions include a complimentary beer for those 21 or older, post-race food, and non-alcoholic beverages. Entry fees are non-refundable and entries are non-transferable; if the course changes or the race is canceled due to an act of nature there are no refunds or rollovers.
