Genoa Peak Madathon

The Madness is back! This time in two new forms. There will be a 25 mile run, 6700′ of climbing, to the summit of Genoa Peak and an 8 mile loop, 1800′ of climbing, along the Discovery Trail above Genoa. The 25 miler will follow the same route as the previously held marathon except runners will head straight up Sierra Canyon Trail from Snowshoe Lane instead of entering at the north trailhead by the water tank.
