Overview
Course Description
Taking runners through Estrella Mountain Regional Park, this course is challenging yet accommodating for every fitness level, taking place on two conjoining yet persistent trails of dirt and desert. As a point-to-point course that brings runners close to where the start line is, runners will journey through a winding trail called Junior Loop before seamlessly entering Long Loop for the duration of the race, until they find themselves at the finish line. While this event series is a great community event for all fitness levels, the half marathon course, along with the marathon course, is a competitive track race whereby winners qualify for the series championships.
