2013 Events

---

March, June, September, December

We have plans to put on 4 events this year, as well as help other organizations with fund-raisers.

All our events are FREE. We have no entry fees, and there are no prizes, you are doing this purely for fun and the knowledge you beat-your-buddy. However, we do ask that you register for the event so we know how many maps to make and how many people to keep an eye on..

June 01 - Mount Laguna

For this race you have choices, choices and choices. For those who do not bike, we have a really long run course that you can do and likewise, for those who do not like to run we have a really long bike course.  Each of these long courses will take a chunk out of your day.

For the more AR inclined racers we have two options on the run and two options on the bike (though you can also go for the additional checkpoints on the really long run or bike if you are so inclined). Below are all your choices. It will be up to you to review the maps and decide which checkpoints to get.

The race will start at 8:00 AM and we hope you are off the course by sundown.  If you are really adventurous and want to race after dark we ask that you carry additional clothing and safety gear for warmth.

We do not reveal the checkpoint (CP) locations until you get your maps which will be emailed the night before the race, so you have lots of time to plan your route. We have already made it knowledge that we like biking the Big Laguna and Noble Canyon trails, and we like hiking the PCT trail.

Rules and Routes point #5

You may get checkpoints in ANY sequence.

The intent is that there are 3 courses for the run and 3 courses for the bike (short, long and longest)

·        Short Run is about 7 miles, 750 ft. gain

·        Long Run is about 14 miles, 1800 ft.

·        Longest Run is about 21 miles, 2940 ft.

·        Short Bike about 12 miles, 860 ft. gain

·        Long Bike is about 16 miles, 1490 ft.

·        Longest Bike is about 24 miles, 3100 ft.

You can get any combination of checkpoints in any sequence, but you cannot bike to run checkpoints.

Each long course also visits the short course checkpoints, and the longest course is short + long + a couple extra checkpoints, so people on the short course could see faster racers at any time.

We invite you to sign up by clicking this link and filling out the information.  

Please tell your friends, the more people we have the better.  Start, transition and finish is all in the same location - Red-Tailed Roost, opposite the Mount Laguna Fire Station.

Adventure Pass
Parking in the Laguna's requires an "Adventure Pass". If you have an annual pass please bring it, if not we will take $5 from you and go buy a day pass for you when the Mt Laguna Store opens. If you camp it is just across the road (0.4 miles away) and I believe you can park there with the camping fee covering your pass.

As entries are REALLY low for AR events in Southern California these days, please email us with your thoughts of what you would like to see (3-4 Hrs, 6-8 Hrs, 12 Hr), and when is a good time to race. If you have ideas of locations please tell us that too. No guarantees as to what we will do next, because spending 40+ hours planning and putting a race on for 10 people is not exactly fun for us. We enjoy the hiking and biking to plan the event but then comes all the coordination to make it happen and that takes the real time and effort.
