Sleeping Lion Ridge Trail Runs

 Loop is 4.2 miles, 90% dirt trails. with an easy 1.3-mile out and back at start to make the distance work out.
*** Strict 6 hour 45 minute cut-off at 26.5 miles in order to continue to 50 km point. You will still get full credit for the marathon distance and a nice medal.
*** We have sincerely tried to eliminate tricky hairpin turns and overly technical footing (e.g. rock slides). BUT these are still hilly TRAIL races in the high desert at 3900’- 4110’ elev.
     Much of the route is a long out-and-back past North Mountain (the peak with TV towers on the summit), so you will get to cheer on runners coming the other way.
