The details

Description

The course travels through the hills just above Coyote Lake.  It features rolling hills through the dried grasses of the Santa Clara Valley.  The Half Marathon is a single loop while the Marathon is two of the same loop.  The 10k is a smaller loop along parts of the Half Marathon loop.  The half and full marathon have about 3 miles of single track and 10 miles of well groomed fire roads.  The 5k is an out and back which includes a paved two mile loop to the finish.  Most of the run is through cattle grazing area so you will see many cows and may even be held up by a few if they decide to cross the trail in front of you.  Not to worry though, they are generally pretty mellow so yelling and waving your arms usually gets them mooovin.  Haha.

 

The fine print.

As usual all runner that register on or before May 10th will receive a great tech tee.  All runners will be able to enjoy a post race beer featuring Strike Brewing as well as the food you come to expect from a trail race.  There will be no awards given for any distance but there will be finishers medals for all finishers.
