In 2024, we were hoping to go out of Blue Jay Campgrounds, which has been our tradition. But the "Airport" fire out of Trabuco Cyn closed that section of the Trabuco District in the Cleveland National Forest. So, we are re-routing for April's race. We're still in the Trabuco District, but we'll be going out of Black Star Canyon instead. We promise a daunting course with significant elevation gain. (Approximately 4,500' for the marathon. Please check back for 1/2 marathon and 10k elevation gains)
