Welcome to the BayTrailrunners Vista Verde Skyline Run. Racers will enjoy stunning vistas of the Pacific Coast and of the spectacular Lambert Creek Watershed, Butano Ridge, Portola State Park and the newly opened Mindego Hill! Revel in tree-covered singletrack and wide open trails that roll through pristine grassy meadows, along serene ponds and over smooth flowing creeks. There is no doubt that the views and trails out here are sure to impress all who participate.
This is a Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® Qualifying Race with 2 points granted to the 50K runners who finish within 8 hours.
Awards:
- All participants will receive a BayTrailrunners Vista Verde Skyline Run T-Shirt.
- First place finishers in both distances will each be awarded gift certificates to use at our sponsor, A Runner’s Mind.
- Cross the finish line and take home a colorful Vista Verde woodallion race ribbon.
- And it doesn’t end there! As a special bonus, we’ll have a professional photographer out on the course taking photos of you on this special day of running!
Time Limit: There is a 9 hour time limit for all distances. 50k runners will be turned back and must drop to the marathon distance if they fail to reach the Long Ridge Aid Station by 2:30PM, which equals 7 hours. This is the 22 mile mark and where the marathon runners turn back.
Aid Stations: Aid will be provided on course and at the finish. Expect fruit, carbs, sweets, Spring Sports Nutrition and Clif gels, Skratch Labs electrolytes, Coke and water. And since we are keeping it green as best as we can, there will be no cups provided at the aid stations. While not required, we strongly recommend that all runners carry some form of hydration pack or water bottle throughout the race.
Spectators and crew: Family and friends can cheer on their runners at the aid station in the Mindego Hill Road parking lot and again as they come through the start to complete the second half of the race. No crew or pacers needed but 50K runners can leave a drop bag at the start. We can not be held responsible for lost or stolen items so please keep all your valuables locked in your car.
