There is a 12Km loop and a 6Km loop for this race. Different distance races are composed with running multiple times of these loops.
The place is easy to access with parking space near the start/finish area. There was an aid station at the start/finish area and an aid station about half way of the 12Km loop. With that, we had an aid station about every 6Km distance.
The slops are relatively gentle in comparing some other tough courses. The trails are well maintained except a few sections.
There were a camera man taking pictures during the race. However, the photos are not available to the runners.
Sweet little trail run.

Established in 2015, this beautiful run takes you high up on Lasky Mesa to the site of the filming of Gone With The Wind and Django Unchained before bringing you down into Upper Las Virgenes Canyon which may-or-may-not include some mud and puddle hopping, depending on the weather in April!
Close to Hollywood, Malibu and downtown Los Angeles, this is the perfect locale for a get-away weekend that includes some awesome time on the trails!
