31K COURSE Map & PROFILE
COURSE MAP:
Alternate 31k course for 2023! Due to excessive spring snowmelt runoff in all forks of the Sacramento River above Lake Siskiyou we are forced to use an alternate 31k course in 2023. All efforts have been made to closely match the standard course distance and elevation gain, while prioritizing participant safety.
The 2023 alternate course is approximately 19.7-miles (31K) and 4075' of elevation gain.
