Hi Everyone, I’m very excited to see you all back in Fish Camp, CA for a fun weekend of running!! For those of you wondering, Baz is not going to make it out this year unfortunately. Last I emailed him he said he really wanted to make it but wasn’t feeling well and is stuck in England. If you feel so inclined please send Baz some love via email at bazhawley@sti.net , just don’t tell him I gave you his email address. Please take a few minutes to read the info below; there are some changes from previous years that you need to know. So excited! See you soon, Nate Moore 50k-Saturday, June 12th, 2021
25k-Sunday, June 13th, 2021 (we split the race to get our plan approved back in April with the Board of Health. 2022 will be back to normal
Start/Finish Location:
We are NOT starting/finishing at Green Meadows Outdoor School. They are undergoing construction and we’ll be back there in 2022. The start/finish location this year will be at the Goat Meadow Snow Play Area, located on Mt Raymond Rd.
The Turn off for Mt. Raymond Rd is on the right hand side of HWY 41 as you drive towards the South Gate Entrance of Yosemite. It is just past the wooden Yosemite NP sign along the roadway.
It’s about 1.2 mi past White Chief Mountain Rd.
Please don’t wait until race day to look up the directions. Email me if you have questions.

Pacers are not allowed.
Dogs are not allowed along the course during the race.

Course Marking-
The course will be marked with pink ribbon (expect to see ribbon, at a minimum, every 0.25mi) 8’’x11” signs on wooden stakes with pink arrows, and flour on the ground. Every junction will be heavily marked. Pay attention and you’ll be fine. If you end up on Highway 41 or Fresno Dome, you weren’t paying attention, go back to the last ribbon you saw and follow them in.
