Event Description

Six virtual trail runs, one starting each week for six weeks, beginning on July 7, 2025.  This series is presented by the Over the Hill Track Club in Ridgecrest, California, and the routes are in the desert hills surrounding our community.  This event began in 2020 as a way to encourage participation and community among our local runners and hikers during the covid epidemic, and it has continued as a way to motivate ourselves to persevere through the challenging summer heat. 

Each course will have its own trailhead, announced at the beginning of the "active" two-week time for that course. 

Participants complete the course at a time of their own choosing within the two weeks, submit their tracks with total time, as well as photos and comments. Series points are awarded for each course in each age/gender division. Run or hike as many of the six courses as you can, to accumulate series points for overall awards.
