Stadium and City Course
The Fresno Urban Run is a 3-mile obstacle course event located in downtown Fresno. Participants begin the course inside Chukchansi Park. The route requires runners to climb every step from the bottom to the top of the stadium. Following the stadium section, the course leads to a six-story circular garage which participants must ascend before descending an adjacent six-story circular garage.
Urban Challenges
The race continues with a 0.5-mile run along Fulton Street heading toward the Tuolumne Overpass, also referred to as the Urban Hill. The final portion of the event involves a vertical climb of 220 stairs to reach the top of a ten-story building known as The Grand Tower. The timing sensor stops once participants reach the summit of this building.
Series and Support
The event serves as a 20-point race within the California Classic Runner of the Year Series. Proceeds from the event are directed to support The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation. Participants can expect a course that combines stadium steps, parking structures, city streets, and a high-rise stair climb. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
