Race Information
Los Angeles' only trail race on Thanksgiving morning!! Escape the city and let it rip across the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains on gracious fire roads overlooking the gridlock, down glorious descents towards the Santa Monica Bay, on singletrack sections through the chaparral, and with enough vert that you'll be thankful for the rest of the year. There's a Winner-Takes-All Cash Prize for the 1/2 Marathon distance for women and men!! What better way to spend Thanksgiving than running in the mountains with friends and family!!
