Get ready for an unforgettable nighttime running experience in the desert! This unique event, hosted by Keira Henninger, features trail races exclusively held after dark with headlamps. Participants will tackle a 4.6-mile loop course that combines narrow trails and wide dirt paths. For the half marathon, runners will complete three loops, while the 30k and 50k participants will run four and seven loops, respectively. Trail shoes are highly recommended to navigate the terrain safely. Each loop includes an aid station, ensuring runners stay refreshed. A headlamp with at least 150 lumens is mandatory for this adventure, as participants will embark in waves for a lively atmosphere throughout the woods. Dress up for added fun! Every runner will receive a handmade finisher's medallion, a mug, and a high-end tech shirt. The race takes place on the beautiful land of the Cahuilla Band of Cahuilla Indians, adding a rich cultural touch to the event.
