I am so excited that there is a professional trail racing presence in East County, Alpine! Taking full advantage of the cleanest air, altitudes and elevation profiles that will strengthen your quads and expand your lung capacity, and highly technical trails that can only be found in the mountains---this 15K was more physically challenging and more fun than any road half marathon! There was a good turnout for all of the race distances, (plenty of friendly competition to push the pace!) it was a perfect day to run, the trails were well marked and volunteers were abundant along the course to point me the right direction and at aid stations.The race sweatshirts are super cozy and a welcome addition to my daily wardrobe. Finish line medals were delicious homemade cookies, place prizes were customized and fun, and the Team Awards were one-of-a-kind handmade sculptures by local artist and race co-director! It was overall very well organized and tons of fun with that local touch you could never find at a big city race. I brought my family along too and we all had a blast. This race is going on my annual race calendar! Thank you so much for putting this together.
dude. signed up for the 15K. Got myself lost (I have been known to do this from time to time. Once I was literally two cities over for a 200 mile relay - we still got third). The next year I left blood on the course in an effort to catch a speeding training partner. Truly a great race, run by the greatest race director. ....and did I mention the cookies!!!!
