Trail and Camp
We are trail runners and love this community. SISU is very proud to offer this race at an affordable price point. Included in your registration is 3 days of camping! The Camp has suffered a lot of damage from fires and floods so this year Cabin stays are not an option. Please bring your tent, sleeping bag, etc. There is a main area where you will have access to set up your camp site. Remember this is just to sleep, we expect you out and racing all weekend! Additionally, the Fort at Camp Trask has recently been remolded and this is where our base camp will be held. Athletes are invited to come and set up tents in and around the camp. All profits will be donated directly to the restoration of the camp, so please be understanding of the years of tribulation.
Please bring your family and crew and camp for free on us! Set up a tent, use your car, just be mindful of the bears and keep your things locked up. Fires are not permitted.
This event will take place at Camp Trask, a special place located in Monrovia, CA. Camp Trask is located
