Kids 1/2 mile Fun Run at 745am!
And, don't forget to support our local scholarship funds by gobbling up the Pancake Breakfast after the race! You will have earned it! (Cost $10-15)

You will receive an email with the Verification Instructions to MoveZenGo prior to the event start date. If you use gmail, please be aware that gmail will often send emails from [email protected] to your "promotions" folder rather than your inbox. If you don't see the email in your inbox, PLEASE check your "promotions" and "spam" folders.
The Race Across California is a 100 day virtual challenge taking you from the California & Nevada border west to the Pacific Ocean! Participants can choose to walk/run, bike, row/paddle or swim. When you sign up you are automatically entered to participate in one or all of the categories.
Customize your SWAG (Save up to $14): Registration includes a California themed race shirt, finisher medal & necklace. If you don't want all the swag you can decline items during registration. Each item will reduce your entry fee by the following amount:
No Shirt: Save $8
No Medal: Save $3
No Necklace: Save $3
INDIVIDUAL VS RELAY
**As an INDIVIDUAL you will complete your virtual challenge on your own, however you can affiliate yourself with a group, club or training team by designating a team/affiliation name. This will allow you to search for your group in each of the leaderboards. Please note for the INDIVIDUAL category this will NOT total your team miles together. Participants who register as a RELAY TEAM will have their miles added together as a team on the 600 Mile Walk/Run/Hike Relay Team Leaderboard. All relay team participants are also included in the individual 200 mile walk/run category. You will get to see your team progress on the 600 mile leaderboard and your individual progress on the 200 mile leaderboard. Grab your friends and participate against other teams in the Relay and still get to participate as individuals. There are no relay teams for the bike, row/paddle or swim categories.
REGISTRATION INCLUDES ACCESS TO ALL THE DISTANCES
You can record your results manually or by syncing your favorite GPS app or watch. When you record your results, MoveZenGo will automatically add them to the correct leaderboard based on how you classify your miles. Walk/Run miles will go to the walk/run leaderboard, bike miles will go to the Bike leaderboard, etc.
Individual Walk, Jog, Run 200 Miles: Participants individually walk, jog, run or hike 200 miles.
Individual Walk, Jog, Run 105 Miles: Participants individually walk, jog, run or hike 105 miles. If you would like to continue on after reaching 105 miles, participants are also included in the Individual 200 Mile Challenge!

Row/Paddle 200 Miles: Participants Row or Paddle 200 miles. Activities can be done outdoors or on an indoor rowing machine.
Relay Team 600 Miles: For all RELAY TEAMS it will be the combined walk, jog, run, hike mileage of everyone on your team. All team members will also be included on the 200 Mile individual leaderboard to track your individual progress. If your team completes the 600 Miles, members will be able to individually continue to complete 200 Miles.
BACK ACROSS CALIFORNIA: Want to continue the fun after individually completing 200 Mile walk/run or 600 Mile Bike?? Why not go BACK ACROSS CALIFORNIA?! All participants have the option to continue Back Across California once completing 200 individual miles in the walk/run or 600 miles in the bike.
