50K Course
The 50K Course will start at 6:00 A.M. and use the first and last part of the existing 50 Mile course that is so popular and you will see many of the same sights and views. The course will begin at the Green Pier in town and follow the same course out through Airport road, past the Airport, through Rancho Escondido, out to Little Harbor Overlook. At the Overlook you will turn left and begin the run back to town via Ben Weston and Middle Ranch. The water stations will be set up and ready for you to come through and visit.
50 Mile Course
Starting at 5:00 A.M., the 50-mile out and back on scenic fire roads from Avalon to the Isthmus and return; takes runners through island's interior, which is generally closed. See Course Map and Aid Stations Locations.
How is the course marked?
The course has arrows throughout to guide you and cones blocking roads/trails you should not head down. Additionally, in the first 10 miles or so the route will have glow sticks along the road to guide runners in the night.

Can I transfer my registration to someone else?
No transfers after January 1st. $15 transfer fee plus any price difference if upgrading distances.

Each station will contain water, Nuun, Honey Stinger products, a First Aid Kit, and various nutritional supplies ranging from Bananas to Oranges, M & Ms to Pretzels. A list of all water station locations is provided on the home. Please plan ahead and bring what you have trained with if you are uncomfortable with what we offer.
Can I run in a different race than I registered for?
Yes! We realize that training can go much better than expected, or maybe not quite as expected. There is no change fee to switch and drop to a shorter race (50M to 50K).
