LOCATION & PARKING:
• Caballero Trailhead
• Exit the 101 Fwy at Reseda Blvd in Reseda. Turn South/west and continue on Reseda Blvd to Caballero Trailhead on your left.
•Trailhead is on your left just after St. Moritz; park curbside and use caution crossing the street.
•If you come to the stop sign at Country Club Place, you need to make a u-turn and park.
ARRIVAL TIME:
6:45am - please arrive and sign in.
TRAIL TALK: 7:00am Sharp!
RUN TIME: 7:15am Sharp!
If you arrive late please follow the arrows.
MAXIMUM RUNNING TIME: 3h30m
- Runners please turn around at 1h40m or at Trippett Ranch, whichever comes first. This will allow 1:50 to return.
MAXIMUM DISTANCE: 14.7 miles (estimate).
WATER & TOILETS:
Water and toilets are available at two locations:
• *Musch Camp – Mile 6.30 – there is a water faucet on the right side just before you cross over the asphault service road. There is also a toilet here. A turn-around at this location will give you approximately 12.6 miles.
• *Trippett Ranch – Mile 7.35 (approximate) – There are toilets and water in the parking lot.
*Recommend filling up for the return trip; there is a lot of uphill coming back.
* If you plan to do less than 12.6 miles, you will not have access to water so you will need to carry enough water for your entire run.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This run is a mix of fire road and beautiful single-track-trail. There will likely be some poison oak at the low points on Musch Trail.
SIGN IN SHEET:
• Please do not remove the sign in sheet from the car windshield.
• Please "PRINT" your name legibly.
• Please print the license number of your vehicle. Do not leave this space blank!
• Put an X in the box by your name when you return from your run.
• Failure to check back after your run may result in search & rescue being called, at your expense.
WE EXPECT HOT TEMPERATURES:
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• Please carry enough fluid to allow you to consume +/- 20oz/hour.
• Please get used to carrying two 20oz bottles or equivalent hydration pack. Please do not show up with little tiny water bottles!!!
• Trails will be marked with flour arrows but you could still get lost. Hikers may erase the marks. Other running clubs mark their own arrows too. Fatigue may cause you to miss an arrow. Pay attention to landmarks to identify your location.
• Pacing: You might be a fast runner or you might be a slow runner! You might be a fast runner on the way out and a very slow runner on the way back ;-). Please run at your own pace, following the arrows. You are not expected to "keep up". As most of our runs will be "out-and-back", you are encouraged to go as slow as you need to go on the way "out"; that will help insure that you can come back a little faster.
• Ultra pace is "walk the up hills; jog the flats and down hills".
• If you leave the trail for any reason, please leave your belt or pack on the trail to mark where you went in the bushes. Please remember to "leave only footprints"; pack everything out.
• Everyone runs for "time on their feet". The slowest runners should plan to maintain a pace of 4-mph overall. A cut-off time for each run will be established and if you are a slower runner, you should expect to turn around at the cut-off time and head back to the cars. This means that although the run is tagged at xx number of miles, some of you may actually run fewer miles but will still complete enough "time on your feet" to finish a 50K race.
• Bring a small cooler with some drinks and snacks.
• A folding chair will come in handy as you wait for others to come in.
• It is important for us to be sure that the last runners have made it in safely before leaving. This is the reason we expect you to all sign in and sign out and to respect the imposed turn around cut-off times.
