\n\t\tCOURSE\n\t<\/h1>\n\t\t

KNOW YOUR COURSE<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\t

Starting in 2023 the SPACEROCK Trail Race features four distances to run, a Half Marathon+, 15K, 10K, and 5K race through the spectacular trails of Vasquez Rocks, PCT, and Agua Dulce trails.<\/p>\n

This is a trail race that contains a good amount of physical challenge with elevation gains at 3000 ft for Half Marathon+, 1800 ft for 15K, 1000 ft for 10K, and 500 ft for 5K runners. It is recommended that runners train for these elevation gains in the weeks leading up to the race.<\/p>\n

Below you will find course details for each distance including a course map, elevation profile, details, and GPS tracks. Take a few moments to become familiar with your course so you are well-prepared and informed. This allows you to get the most out of the experience, focus on having fun and enjoy a spectacular trail race.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"SPACEROCK\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t

2023 COURSE UPDATE<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\t

The Vasquez Rocks Park has closed off a section of the park for restoration and preservation. This impacted a small section of the 5K loop in the North West corner that had to be removed and re-routed, making the loop a bit smaller. To make up the distance, we have added a new section near the end of the loop before the finish to ensure all the distances remain accurate. This change also drops about 100 feet of total elevation from the original course and impacts all course’s total elevation.<\/p>\n

We think the adjusted routes actually improve the experience as the new sections introduce some cool new areas and terrain in Vasquez Rocks. Below are updated maps, elevation profiles, GPS data, and files to reflect this change.<\/p>\n
