About the event
Formally known as Man Vs Horse, the Over The Hill Track Club is proud and excited to adopt this race. There will be 3 distances, a 10 mile, 26.2, and a 50k. So please spread the word tell your friends and invite fellow runners to this great event!!
10 Mile Course
The concept: The 10 mile distance is an event that is open to walkers, hikers, and runners. Dogs are welcome in the 10 miler and aid will be provided to them as well. Dogs must remain on leashes at all times.
Course Description:
You begin your journey at the base of Indian Wells Canyon (at Indian Wells Brewing CO.) The first 2 miles are easy going with a little sand and rock, the next two miles get gradually steeper and many will be reduced to a walk by the time you hit the first full aid station. After that it is an easy uphill grade to the highest point ~1100 feet above the start and a quick downhill four mile finish. There are some moderate hill climbs that will not exactly help you log a new PR, but if you're looking for a 10 mile experience in a laid-back environment with plenty of aid, this is for you!
26.2 Marathon
The concept: The 26.2 mile distance is open to walkers,Hikers, and runners. Sorry but no dogs allowed at this distance (just too far).
Course Description:
Starts the same as the 10 mile description above. After that you head up Indian Wells canyon and climb slowly and steadily (elevation gain of ~2,300) for 8 miles to the Owen's Peak trail head (there are a handful of steep sections but they are relatively short). The trail consists primarily of fire roads and Jeep trails. The terrain on this loop varies wildly and If you're a barefoot runner, foot placement is key through about a mile of this leg as some loose rock will try to get to know you better. Once you hit the Owen's Peak Trail head, high-five the aid station crew, refuel, take in the view, and make a B-line the final 8 miles back down the mountain!
50K Ultra Marathon
Course Description:
This option is for Runners only. Ultra runners will be sharing the course with the marathoners. The Ultra course is essentially the same course as the marathon with a 5 mile northbound detour added to the mix.
