- 5k Trail Run/Walk
- 10k Run/Walk

Proceeds from the event are directed to the youth of Black Oak Mines Unified School District to support programs in agriculture, engineering and VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts). A portion of funds is also allocated to scholarship a child to attend Camp Taylor, a camp for youth with heart disease.
Register by September 30 to receive a HoC cotton t-shirt with registration. All half marathon participants receive something new for 2025 (TBD). Packet and bib pick up will be on Race Day. Registration is available online until the start of each event.
The course uses trails around Cool and the Sierra Foothills and runs on sections shared with well known local trail events. To reduce waste, the event is cup free; participants should bring a cup or refillable water bottle for aid stations. The event includes a post race pancake breakfast. A family discount package is offered for immediate family members for the 5k and 10k, and child care is available at $8 per child for ages 3 and up.
