2025 Course Update
Due to levee construction in the final mile of the original Salmon Falls course between Browns Ravine and Folsom Point, we are altering our course and temporarily moving our finish line for the 2025 race. Changes to note for this year's race:
~ New finish line for both distances at Browns Ravine
~ Addition of Salmon Falls Ranch trails to the 50K course
~ New half marathon start line at Sweetwater Trail parking lot
