Spacerock Trail Race is no joke. This is not a casual race to just get out there and run. You NEED training and you NEED strength to climb. But it was the most fun and welcoming race I have ever done. I felt like part of a race family and it was my first time ever. Each volunteer was extremely supportive. The course is very well marked and the aid stations are very nourishing. Very well put together race and super informative emails sent leading up to race day.

Having climbed those hills the past 3 races, I volunteered this year as I regularly volunteer at Valencia and thought I would see how things went at Spacerock from the other side. I had a twinge of jealousy as the runners came across the finish line. But the volunteers I met and the excitement as I was able to cheer on the runners were more than enough to overcome that twinge. New Global Adventures puts on the best races and I look forward to being a part of them for many years to come, both behind the scenes and on the trails.

I run a lot of Obstacle Course and trail races. I Highly recommend the SpaceRock Trail Race. I drove up from San Diego and the drive was worth it. Intimate, friendly atmosphere for the race. Stick around and “explore” after the race, you will be glad you did.

Yet another fantastic inaugural event by New Global Adventures. Shuttles, coffee and awesome gear check bags at the start; challenging, well marked course with beautiful views; great volunteers, and free photo downloads afterwards. Really a fun, welcoming atmosphere too. This race hits all the right buttons and is definitely one you'll keep coming back to.

The race coordinators were more than understanding about my recent cancer diagnosis. I got sicker faster than I expected. In June I was regularly running 10, 11 and 12k, but by Sept I could barely complete 8k and in October when I tried a trial SpaceRock I could only finish 6k. . . so I asked them to disqualify my time. I decided to just run for fun. They said I could drop down to 5k if I wanted. When I got the 5k/10k split I saw a sign for me (!). It buoyed my spirits. I surprised myself by being able to complete the whole 10k 🙂 smiles. Surgery is Friday. Fingers crossed. I'd love to come back and compete next year!

This is only my second trail race and I am so glad I signed up for it. The course is challenging and scenic. It was clearly marked, thank goodness, because getting lost was a big concern for me. Luckily, there was nothing to fear. The staff and volunteers are all friendly and helpful. Participants were kept well informed, there were plenty of race photos, and of course the goodie bags, shirt, and medal were top notch! This is a great race, and I look forward to doing it again next year!
