The races include a half marathon and a 4-mile an hour backyard endurance challenge, and new this year and one loop 4-mile option! The Half Marathon will start at 8:10am along the rock wall off Centennial/South Rim trail head. This race will be a challenging climb with 1600 ft of gain in the first half.

Chico Velo Trailworks. Launched in 2014, Chico Velo’s Trailworks supports and manages the creation and maintenance of sustainable and enjoyable trails in our region. They have established a strong partnership with the City of Chico to maintain the trails in Upper Bidwell Park. Trailworks have done additional work in the Oroville area and beyond. They are actively seeking new partnerships and opportunities within our community to promote sustainable trail design. Trailworks volunteers put in hundreds of hours every year improving trails for all users to enjoy. To see their latest project check out our Colby Mountain Recreation Project. A portion of your race entry will go to this great local stewardship as they continue their work to help keep our local trails accessible for us all!

Chico Velo Trailworks - CHICO VELO In addition to supporting Chico Velo Trailworks we are also donating a portion of the race proceeds to local fire academy cadets.

With a fire prone environment that we live in throughout Butte County we rely on our local fire personnel, staff and volunteers to keep our community safe!
