Where: Reg/start at Pescadero High School, 350 Butano Cut-Off, Pescadero CA 94060. Take Pescadero Rd inland from Hwy 1 about 3 miles; turn right onto Cloverdale, then left onto Butano Cut-Off. Registration opens at 7:00am and closes 15 minutes before each race start. Parking marshals will help you.
Course: A spectacular and hilly 28-mile loop through coastal dunes and redwood groves consisting of Stage Rd, Hwy 84 and Pescadero Rd. The race starts with a ~2 mile moto-enforced neutral zone from Pescadero High School until the right turn on Stage Rd. Use caution on the steep and twisty descents. Neutral Feed Zone is located after right turn onto Pescadero Rd from Hwy 84. Every racer's final lap will not be a full lap; the finish line is at the top of Haskins Hill on Pescadero Creek Road.
