Join us at Harvey Bear County Park for the 3rd event in our Spring Trail Running Series for 2010.  

The series lasts for 6 events and we run 3 series per year.  At the end of each series we give very nice awards for points leaders and King of the Mountain points.  That means we have a good hill in each course.
See the FAQ section for how the points system works.

Come enjoy some of the most challenging and beautiful trails in the South Valley and/or Bay Area.  Races are open to all levels of runners from the novice to the seasoned ultra distance veterans. Leave the road behind and enjoy the invigorating courses and scenery.

SweatVac Hats are given to all preregistered entrants.

We have dedicated volunteers, great sponsors, fantastic swag bags and healthy snacks provided for all.

Look forward to a rewarding family event.
