Registration opens March 21, 2026. Special age-based pricing is available for runners 19 and under; the 4-mile and 9-mile youth fees are listed as $25 and $40, respectively, plus tax and fees. A fund is available to waive registration fees for runners who cannot afford them; donations to that fund are offered as an optional add-on during registration.
Course, awards, and policies
Courses use the Creekside Trails system with tree-covered single-track, switchbacks, farmland views, multiple bridge crossings over a creek, and uneven surfaces. The 9-mile course is one full loop, the 18-mile distance is two laps of that loop, and the 4-mile course follows roughly half the loop and goes out to the Salt Creek section. The race has course cut-offs, including a halfway point for the 18-mile race and an overall finish cut-off.
Entrants may register as Male, Female, or Non-Binary. Every finisher receives a custom award; podium awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers at each distance. Participants who become pregnant after registering or who have a recent newborn may defer their entry for up to two years, subject to the event’s deferral policy.
