About the course
The race is run on 95% single-track and 5% dirt road, and the course primarily follows the Sweetwater Trail.
The single-track is very appealing and offers great running with some technical sections. The trail has gently rolling hills in El Dorado Hills and parallels Folsom Lake.
Oak trees, lush green grass and views of the surrounding Sierra foothills line the way.
Location
City insight: Folsom
Folsom is a city in northeastern Sacramento County in California, known for its Gold Rush history and for Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma, which are centers of outdoor recreation. The region has hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race, when the heat has eased and the days are still long.
