Great Shasta Rail Trail Run
The event takes place at the Great Shasta Rail Trail Trailhead in Burney, California. It offers three out-and-back distances:
- 50K
- 30K
- 10K
The course is described as relatively flat with good footing, suitable for fast running. The 30K and 50K routes include a crossing at the Stand By Me Bridge. The 50K adds a short, rugged creek scramble section. All distances use a 12 hour cutoff.
Support on course includes aid stations spaced roughly every 3 to 6 miles, water drops in hot years, and aid station supplies such as electrolytes, snacks, and ice. Parking is available at the trailhead and porta potties will be located at the start and finish area. A race briefing and packet pick-up are provided on race morning. All finishers receive a medal; all participants receive a race shirt and a post-race meal.
The event benefits the Great Shasta Rail Trail to support preservation and accessibility. The organizer is Intermountain Endurance. The event notes a deferral policy allowing deferred entries up to one week before race day and transfers up to one day before race day.
