CAMPING

HOME BASE

Join us at the East Walker Ranch Open Space, where epic mountain views and fresh air create the perfect setting for your race. When you're not running, enjoy the stars, festivities, cheer on runners, and good vibes at the race festival.

Camping at the race adds to the overall race experience for the longer ultramarathons, 6 or 12-hours, and relay team runners. Giving you a home base before, during, and after the race, where you can rest, access your fuel, and gear. If you have a support crew, they can hang out as you complete laps.

We highly recommend setting up camp for the best experience. You can reserve a camp space when registering for the race.
