As one of the most scenic course routes in Southern California, you will experience breathtaking views of surrounding mountain ranges and skyline as you inhale the smell of sweet citrus and orange blossoms beginning to bloom. This race is truly one-of-a-kind and all race distances sold out in 2026!
This event is a great tune-up race for 2027.We offer high-quality tech-fabric long-sleeve tees, finisher medals and age group awards. Along the course, you will find entertainment (live bands) and several hydration stops. At the finish line, you will be greeted with music by a live band and post-race refreshments which include freshly squeezed orange juice from a local orange grove, as well as warm food, a celebratory beer and hand-crafted mimosas!
