Jake Gillette · 2022

Marathon

Gillette found the repeated hills harder on the second loop and noted confusion at an initially unattended turnaround. Winning made the finish satisfying. He praised the volunteers, post-race food, free photos, awards and music, and recommended the event with its hills in mind.

Benjamin Mazur · 2013

Ultra

Benjamin enjoyed the forest scenery, friendly volunteers and running with well-matched friends. A rough railroad bed, faint trail sections and steep descents required care, but he felt the inaugural race was well run and finished feeling good.

Reported format: 50 km (31.1 miles) event.

Chris Baggott · 2026

Ultra

Chris admired the beautiful Yellowwood forest conditions, clear course markings and plentiful volunteers. He felt undertrained for the long, hilly day but was proud to finish despite being disappointed with his time.

Reported format: 50 km (31.1 miles).

Marathon

The runner liked the mostly flat course, volunteers, pacers, toilets and bag check. Repeating the loop was less troublesome than expected. Stomach problems spoiled a time goal, but the author praised attentive finish medics and recommended the event despite personal difficulties.

Charisa enjoyed running among the giant redwoods but switched from the full to the half after seeing the course and severe weather forecast. She appreciated the flexibility and was relieved to have finished before a heavy downpour. Even the half felt harder after an initially comfortable opening.

KBrush · 2025

Marathon

KBrush liked the mountain scenery and found the shuttle to the start easy, but thought parts of the course were boring. The review stresses the high-altitude start, initial descent and hills later in the race.
