This is going to be limited to the first 50 teams so make sure to register soon for the Team comp at the San Diego Multi Park Marathon. This event will work by one rider completing the first half of the course then the second rider completes the second half. We will have shuttles from the Start/Finish area to the half way point where the exchange will be made. Both riders will receive all of the goodies the solo riders do!
Here is the event that we have all been waiting for! The San Diego Multi Park Marathon 50 miler will take place on San Diego's best trails. This event will cover three different parks systems including: Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve, San Dieguito River park, and Black Mountain Open Space Park. Best of all this event supports the local parks by giving $15 per rider back into these great parks!
This event will challenge all who participate! This course has tons of single track, beautiful views, lots of climbing and easy access for spectators. Due to the nature of this event and cut off times for road closures this race is limited to the first 150 participants! This is your chance to ride 50 miles of amazing trials in sequence with road closures that are allowing Mountain Bikers the right of way!
