Other trail races within 195 miles
The SOB's intro-level trail run and a perfect first taste of the Siskiyou trail experience. The 8K heads out on Road 20 to Grouse Gap, then returns on the Pacific Crest Trail — flat to start, with gentle rolling hills and a final climb to the finish. Food trucks, live music, and cold drinks await at the festival finish at Mt. Ashland Lodge.
