Starts with very challenging 4 mile 2500 ft climb on a fire road to Castro Crest but worth it once you get on top and start on the Backbone Trail. Good trail shoes are necessary on the single track Backbone Trail. Most all the rest of the course are on jeep roads. Great views to the West San Fernando Valley on one side and Malibu / Pacific Ocean on the other. Then a long downhill back down into the park to the finish for the 25K or a second loop for the 50K. It has been very hot in the past so carrying a waterbottle or Camelback is manditory, salt and energy food is suggested. A light lunch is provided at the finish, but we usually go to the Pier View Cafe in Malibu to relax after.
*Need race review and photos.
