In 2024, we had a course change because a pair of nesting eagles came a little too close to the road. 

In 2025, the plan was to head back to Indian Truck Trail in the Cleveland National Forest for another one-hill race up to N. Main Divide. But . . . 

We are in the process of working with the Cleveland National Forest on an alternate course due to recent protected wildlife activity, and will announce all of the details as soon as we get Forest Service final approval. The new course will still be a climb and also will remain in the Trabuco District. We look forward to telling you more!

No Refunds. This race does not allow refunds of any kind. Race entries will be applied to the following year's race should the Billy Goat race get cancelled due to circumstances beyond the race director's control (fire, government, shutdown, etc). Our first choice is not to cancel. We always have a Plan B. If the trail becomes unavailable, we will move to Plan B if possible.
