Information:

Be part of Auburn's uphill challenge. Climb up to the tallest bridge in California, the Foresthill bridge, 730' feet high.

The exact distance of our new course is now 1 mile, and not 1k, the vertical climb does not change, as well as our star/finish area.

Runners who complete it under 10 minutes will receive a special award, as well as top male and female runners. Awards will also be given to the youngest and wisest (oldest) runner. While the distance is longer, the terrain is more run-able, for that reason we are not updating our 10 minute club standard.

Runners under 8 y/o are encouraged to be accompanied by their parent or guardian.

This event is capped to only 100 runners and will sell out as it did the last two years. Register early and secure your spot, as always, we have the best swag, whether you sign up for our 110k or 1mile race, we go out of our way to make you feel appreciated.

Group of up to 25 runners will start every 15 minutes. You can select your wave time during your registration.

Come out and test yourself or cheer on runners while they scramble their way up the hill. Be aware that while this is a short run, it is a point to point event WITHOUT a shuttle, so you decide to park at the start (bottom) area and then run up, or park at the finish (top) and run back down to the start. All vehicles must be out of the top parking area by 11:30am, otherwise we will lock your vehicle inside 🙂

After the event we will meet at The Aid Station for awards distribution as well as social gathering. As always we will buy you the first pint, beer and Non Alcoholic Kombucha available. The Auburn Aid Station is located at 927 Lincon way., Auburn CA 95603

Post race beer

All runners are invited to a local brewery after the event, where SingleTrack Running will buy a beer to all participants of legal drinking age. Brewery TBD.

Awards

All runners will receive some event swag with their registration, but those that can make the climb under 10 minutes will receive a special award. We will also have an award for top male, female, youngest and oldest runner.

Chip Timing/Pictures

Our chip timing services will provide accurate timing for all runners with same day results. Event pictures will also be available on our website and our fb page. These pictures will be free to all registered runners.

Transportation and Parking

There is no shuttles to the start from the finish area. Runners can be dropped off at the start (bottom of the hill) and spectators can then wait for the runner at the finish (top of the hill), or Runners can drive to the finish line area and then hike down to the start. There is a switchback/fire-road all the way to the start. It is about 1 mile down, please plan your time accordingly.
