Enjoy the beautiful American River and various river bars, with the trail half marathon, 30K or 50K.
Home of The Jim Jones Bridge and the new Bar Hopper Trail/Ultra Running series.
This is a first annual trail/ultra marathon sponsored by Monster Energy with three distances to choose from. There will be a half marathon, 30K and 50K. The start time for the 30K and 50K are 8am and the half marathon will begin at 8:30. This will be a cup free and 98% waste free event . Runners will be supplied with collapsible cups at packet pickup. Conservation is huge on these trails and anyone caught littering will be DQ'd, permanently banned from the event and possibly face fines from local rangers. The event is limited to 150 runners due to conservation for surrounding wildlife and wild lands. Both 30K and 50K runners will be greeted by the Monster Energy team at the Watt Bridge/Overpass. Come out and explore new trails that you didn't know were there before.
Course information/Guide.
Endless trail options await you, along the American River Parkway. Get a chance to run a new course that has never been run or thrown before. The course begins close to the Jim Jones Bridge and follows a 2.6 mile loop before returning to cross the bridge. Runners will then proceed over the bridge and turn right heading towards William Pond Park. Half Marathon runners will be reaching their halfway point, while 30K runners will reach their halfway point at the Watt/American River overpass. 50K runners will cross over the bridge to the Watt/La Riviera access point, only to follow more trails. Several miles up, runners will reach their halfway point & aid station. Once at the halfway point for each distance, all runners will retrace their steps and follow course markings.

Monster Energy! What a thrill it is for me to be able to partner with one of my favorite sponsors. The champs at Monster Energy feel just as passionately about competitive sports and athletics as I do, and we’ve been able to accomplish so much together in collaboration.
