Proceeds of this event benefit the San Joaquin River Parkway & Conservation Trust and Sycamore Island.

The San Joaquin River Parkway & Conservation Trust began managing Sycamore Island in 2013 through a 5-year agreement with the San Joaquin River Conservancy. Sycamore Island remains a fantastic destination to visit! It offers three access points to the river for canoeing and kayaking, as well as several miles of dirt roads ideal for trail running or walking. The 350-acre property features three covered picnic shelters and a bait shop that stocks snacks and beverages.

The trails here are a blast! Both 5k and 10k runners will enjoy some beautiful views of the river while tunneling through sections of cascading trees. 10k runners will get to buzz right by a honeybee farm. (Don’t worry! The bees won’t bother you. They might just say “hello!”).

There will be an Aid Station, along the trail, stocked with water, electrolytes, and snacks. The trail will be marked with ribbons, signs, and arrows on the path made of flour. There will be two portable restrooms near the race entrance and two more along the trail. In case of any injury, we will have a physician on site. Notify the Aid Station and they will radio out someone to help you.

As you drive into the park, there will be signs navigating you to the picnic area where the start line is at. There are several large potholes on the road, in the park, so please drive carefully. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the race. Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can go over the course and race rules. We recommend wearing trail-running shoes as there are lots of loose dirt and gravel on the trails.
