Brief Description

The runs will take you through beautiful riparian forest along the Sacramento river in Northern California as well as over some rocky lava fields, created millenia ago when Mount Tehama erupted. Fields will be exploding with wildflowers, creating a colorful panorama to take your mind off the run. The wildflowers course has little elevation change, making it a perfect course for first time ultrarunners, or those looking for a fast 50k time.
