Enjoy a unique opportunity to run on Cahuilla Indian Reservation located in Anza, California. This unique event is a fundraiser for the tribe's Youth and Family Programming which puts on events for the tribe's youth throughout the year. Learn about the culture and history of the Cahuilla people while enjoying the beautiful mountain desert climate. 24 hour runners will enjoy a beautiful star filled sky at night in the quiet serene landscapes of Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Camp out on the softball field with your friends and crew, as you do the 2-mile loop and challenge yourself to see how many miles you can get in before time is up. Half Marathon runners get a 13 mile tour of the reservation on 13 miles of rez roads. Note: this race is not the Elder Creek Races nor is it associated with the Elder Creek Races. This is a Native-organized event that aims to provide a culturally educational experience while providing a top notch running experience.

6hr/12h/24h

The course is a 2 mile loop on double track dirt road. 128 feet of elevation gain and 6,400 ft over 100 miles is not completely flat but is enough to make it interesting. There will be an aid station at the Softball Field with real food and typical aid station foods. There will also be real non-porta-potty bathrooms.

100 Mile Race

The 100 mile race will take place on the same 2 mile double track dirt road loop as the fixed time (24h/12h/6h) races. The cutoff will be 30hrs, 1pm Sunday. 24hr runners who reach mile 82 within 24 hours will be allowed to continue on to complete 100 miles. 100 MILE FINISHERS WILL RECEIVE A BUCKLE*. Buckles are limited to people who signed up before October. The course has approximately 6,000 ft of gain in 100 miles, subtle rolling hills.

Half Marathon Course

The half marathon provides more of a tour of the reservation roads as it takes you to different ends of the reservation. There will be 4 aid stations with basic aid (water, fruits, small foods) at miles 4.5, 6, 7.5 and mile 10. It is similar double track dirt road and somewhat hilly with about 1500 ft of climb in the half marathon.

Shirts, Medals, Awards

Each participant will receive a race shirt as part of the pre-race materials and a medal upon completion of their race. Top finishers in each race will receive a hand crafted award. 100 mile finishers do receive buckles. 5k participants do not receive a shirt but do receive a buckle.

Fundraising for Cahuilla Band of Indians

100% of the funds not used for putting on the race will go directly to Cahuilla Band of Indians, specifically the Youth and Family Committee.
