Good to know

  • The organizer can change times. We check the organizer's schedule and update this page and the calendar file when it changes. If you added the file to your calendar, download it again for the latest version.
  • Gates open at 2:30 PM every night, and there's no re-entry after 7:00 PM PT. More in the first-timer's guide.
  • The race has a start time only. The organizer lists lights out at 8:00 PM PT on Saturday and no finish time, so the calendar file doesn't guess one.
  • Watching from home? See where to watch.
