Gulch Countdown

Join Travis for a relaxed group run this Friday! We’ll meet at the Japanese Gulch South Trailhead (Community Garden) at 5pm and do one loop of the course plus a little extra (3-4 miles). Anyone can join - even if you’re not signed up for the race - and all paces welcome!

At least $5 from every Countdown registration goes towards the trails we love! We recently donated $500 to to support their work keeping trails accessible and protecting public lands across our beautiful state! Check out their website to explore the awesome hike finder tool, read trip reports, learn about volunteer opportunities, and so much more. 💚💚💚

Only three more sleeps until the Countdown! Supplies are being assembled, cookie medals are going in the oven, and we’re dusting off our trusty start/finish arch and the DNF chair.

We are keeping registration open through midnight Friday and there will day-of registration Saturday morning too, so grab a friend and come enjoy some laps in the Gulch! If you’re already signed up, please check your email for more day-of details.

Race day weather is looking excellent, though a bit toasty: mostly sunny with some afternoon clouds and a high of 82 😎🌞. A little different than this drizzly day back in 2022, pictured 😁.
