A rugged out-and-back through the Santa Monica Mountains, sharing the first half of the 100K course through Corral Canyon, Kanan Road, and Zuma Edison Ridge before looping back. No crew or pacer access anywhere on course — runners are fully self-reliant between aid stations. Finishing the 50 Mile earns a Sterling Silver Ticket for the Angeles Crest 100 lottery.
