Let’s Run It’s Spring!

Let’s Run It’s Spring! The 10 mile Gauntlet is a challenging, fun course. The 5K, 10K and 15K feature a rolling to flat course consisting of hard packed dirt trails. The 5K is a single loop, 10K double loop and 15K triple loop. Loop courses are terrific because your family and friends are able to see you multiple times.

The challenging 10 Mile Gauntlet covers the entire elevation profile of Lagoon Valley, and you can expect mostly single track trail. Cumulative elevation of the Gauntlet run is approximately 1700 feet with short 7 to 20 percent grades thrown in for good measure. The 10 mile Gauntlet is a challenging race, and best suited for experienced trail runners.

Both the 10 mile Gauntlet and 15K will start at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K/10K will start at 8:50 a.m.

About Lagoon Valley: You’ll actually be running on trails that native tribes used over two centuries ago. The Suisunes (also called the Suisun and the “People of the West Wind”) were a tribe of Native Americans that lived in Northern California’s Suisun Marsh regions of Solano County, California between what is now Suisun City, Vacaville and Putah Creek around 200 years ago. The valley was also settled by the Patwin Tribe. Native Indian chanting has been heard at various times by local runners that train at Lagoon Valley.
