Costumes
Besides our awesome race course, one of our greatest attractions is the Halloween or Día de los Muertos theme, so the costumes that our competitors come up with for the event give such a cool vibe. They can get extremely creative with their individual or team costumes. Prizes for the best overall costumes!
The Course
The course is roughly 11 miles in length, and consists of smooth, fast flow trail, short sections of small-to-medium rocks, fast descents, short steep climbs, mellow rolling single track, berms, gravel roads, a few arroyo crossings, and more. All-in-all it is one fast super race course!
