Race results will be posted soon. Runners recommended starting future events in the series at 8:00 a.m. rather than 8:30. Click here for a video with pictures from the run.Kids Training Camp

BAZ the RD welcomes you to the 2010 Summer Trail Run Series in
the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Over the last 26 years of
organizing trail races in Southern Cal, I feel it is time for
runners in the Central Valley area to enjoy a new running adventure!
Many ultra runners know of my long-standing Shadow of the Giants 50K
in Fish Camp, but maybe not know of the many other miles of mountain
trails in the Sierras, just north of Oakhurst. The trails will be
well marked and aid stations will provide all your fluid needs as
required. Of course we do suggest you carry water at all times. - The four race series will start July 17, 2010 and conclude
September 11, 2010. All race courses in the are in
Sierra National
Forest, near Oakhurst or Fish Camp, California. Distances are between 8
and 10.5 miles, at between 4,000 and 5,500' elevation. The weather
is usually clear blue sky and temperatures around 60 to 70 degrees
for the 8:30 AM start times. The races will go on, so come prepared
for all seasons.
- Soft drinks and seasonal fruit will be available to runners at
the finish line. Awards will be given to men and women winners plus
special age groups.
- Please note, you will receive only one series T-shirt, even if
you enter all races, but for those entering and FINISHING all
4-races you will receive a special Series Sweat-Shirt. Other
give-away items will be offered in the form of a Raffle… just fun if
you stick around. A King and Queen of the Mountain Awards will be
given at the final race in Fish Camp. It could be, You!
- More race information will be including entry forms and course maps will be available on-line. TRAILS ROCK merchandise will be available, 10% of the profits will be donated to a local school in the form of sporting goods for those kids who are really in need. Kids under 12 wanting to run will require permission from their parent, we want these events to be a family affair.
