Silver Moon Race: Kings River

Event Overview

The Silver Moon Race: Kings River takes place in Reedley, California, with the course centered at Reedley College. This event is scheduled around the weekend closest to the full moon, allowing participants to run through the night under the moonlight and stars into the following sunrise. The race formats are designed to accommodate various endurance goals, ranging from set distances to timed challenges.

Course Details

The event features a 2.5 mile loop course consisting of flat, packed farm roads. This terrain leads through an agricultural landscape and offers a gentle profile. Because the race uses a lap format, participants have regular access to a central checkpoint and aid station where they can rest and refuel. Lap progress is monitored via an interactive self-managed tracking system located near the leaderboard.

Distance Options

Participants can choose from several individual and relay formats:

• 12K: A total of three laps, approximately 7.5 miles.
• 6-Hour, 12-Hour, and 24-Hour: Participants complete as many laps as possible within the time limit.
• 100-Mile: A dedicated distance requiring 40 laps within a 30-hour limit.
• 4-person team relay: A relay option for friends to compete together.

Amenities and Logistics

The event is chip timed and supported by volunteers. All participants receive an official race shirt, a collectible finisher medal, and a finisher certificate. Those who successfully complete the 100-mile distance receive a buckle, and top finishers are awarded trophies. An aid station provides food and water throughout the event, and a post-race brunch is held on Sunday morning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
