Considered by the race organizers to be "the ultimate in trail running," the Buffalo Run takes place
along the East End trails of California's Catalina Island. The half
marathon course takes runners from the sea to a 1,600-ft. rise in
elevation back to sea level. This course is a very challenging, hilly
course and includes about eight miles along dirt fire roads to the
descent back into Avalon, Calif. The race's first two miles and last
two miles are on pavement.
