What Makes It Great

A point-to-point introduction to Rancho San Fernando Rey's rugged interior, this course weaves through private California ranch land on historic roads and oak-lined singletrack. Steady climbs and descents through coastal sagebrush and open grasslands offer sweeping Santa Ynez Valley views, with glimpses of the Pacific Ocean on clear days. A UTMB World Series event that earns runners 1 Running Stone toward UTMB Mont-Blanc lottery qualification.
