This is a free, fat ass event. We are out there running, and you can join us if you want to! You have 10 hours to collect as much vert as you can or want to by running hill repeats: 1 lap is 500' and just under 1 mile.
How's it work?
The Whitewash climb is a gnarly, technical climb with 500' of gain in about 0.5 miles. At the top, we will have a pot of gold coins. Each time you summit, grab one coin and head back down, place the coin the collection jar, and make a tally next to your name.
Each coin = 500' climbed.
CREW
Crew is welcome! Hang out, hike, bring dogs, set up basecamp - the open space is open to the public and this is a big group run. Bring something to share. The picnic table at the bottom is the start/finish of every lap, so you will be back at your re-supply every mile. The picnic table is a pleasant 0.1 mile easy trail from the base of the hill.
IS IT MARKED?
The trail will be lightly flagged to help you, but there is no mandatory course up or down. Whatever way you go, always stay on a trail (there are a few up Whitewash).
DO I HAVE TO STAY FOR 10 HOURS?
Nope. The purpose is to come challenge yourself and find your climbing legs for summertime.
WHAT ABOUT BATHROOMS?
There are no official bathrooms at this trailhead, unfortunately. Plan accordingly. You may absolutely leave the course at any time and come back.
PARKING - Do not park at the trailhead.
You may get dropped off at the Menaul Trailhead parking lot (take Menaul all the way to the mountain; there is a parking lot at the end which is the closest spot to our event). Or, if you need to park, please park on any residential road stemming from Menaul Rd, Monte Largo, Rebonito Road, or Indian School trailhead and enjoy your warm-up walk. There are tons of convenient nearby public roads. We will be there all day and don’t want to take up parking for everyone else.
WHAT TO BRING?
Something delicious to share, sunscreen, plenty of water/drinks, your beastiest legs, poles if you got 'em and grippy shoes.
We will still do special awards for 10,000+ feet climbed.
Come out and get uncomfortable. Do 1 lap or 30!
