Course Information

Both the 10k and Half Marathon courses are challenging with steep hills and rough terrain.

With that in mind please plan to carry a handheld water bottle and your preferred nutrition.

Aid Stations: There will be one aid station for the 10k around mile 4. It will have water, GU Gels, Skratch and other snacks.

The Half Marathon Course will have Aid Stations at mile 4, 6, 9.6, & 11.7

Please make sure any trash stays at the aid station, do not drop it along the course.

Course Markers: The course will be marked with the following: signs with directional arrows and orange ribbon. The course should be very easy to follow so long as you look for the markers.

    The Millerton Lake Sprint Triathlon has long been known as a great "first lake swim" triathlon, and a warm up for the upcoming season. But don't let the bike and run distances fool you, there are a few steep hills on the ride, and the trail portion of run is a challenge.

    More of a good thing... The Olympic Distance has a more challenging swim, two loops of the bike course, and two loops of the run course with a trail run heading out, a paved road coming back and beautiful Millerton Lake as the backdrop.

    Note:

    A USAT membership is required for the Triathlon, (but not the 5k/10k) If you do not have one, you can purchase one during the registration process. Per USAT rules, multisport participants must present ID and USAT membership card at packet pickup.

    Total participation at this event is capped at 200. Register before it is sold out.

    There is a $10 vehicle entrance fee.

    Ely Mountain Trail Race – Shaver Lake, CA

    14K (8.7mi) + 8K (4.9mi) | Balsam Forebay | Cooler temps. Hot trails.

    We’re stoked to bring a brand new adventure to the San Joaquin Running Co lineup — and this one’s a beauty. Join us in the mountains above Shaver Lake for the first-ever Ely Mountain Trail Race, where crisp air, big climbs, and epic views are all on the menu.

    The 14K course brings the heat with about 1,800 feet of climbing, including a 1,000’ ascent up Ely Mountain. You’ll earn sweeping views of the Sierra, Shaver Lake, and the valley below — then fly down some smooth and fast singletrack and dirt roads back to the finish.

    The 8K hits a slightly easier route to the top but still climbs about 800 feet, with all the mountain vibes and finish line feels.

    🏔️ Special Award for King & Queen of the Mountain – fastest segment times to the top of Ely!

    🎽 Custom race shirts

    🏅 Finisher medals + podium awards

    🍕 Post-race food + refreshments

    🌲 All the crisp mountain air you’ve been missing

    We’re capping this one at 250 runners, so don’t sleep on it — grab your spot and come break in these trails with us.
