Chingona Fest Campout

Chingona Fest Campout

This event is a fundraiser for Chingonas on the Run and an opportunity to bring our community together through running and camping. Chingonas on the Run: Camp & Loop Where miles, mountains, and mujeres meet. Join us for a weekend that’s more than just miles — it’s a celebration of grit, comunidad, and the kind of campfire connections that linger long after the headlamps switch off. On Saturday, September 27th, you’ll take on a 6-hour challenge to complete as many loops as your legs (and ganas) can handle. Each loop is 4.16 miles with 728 ft of gain, winding through sweet single track trails in the heart of the Angeles National Forest, summiting Mount Hillyer each time you circle. The loop starts and finishes at basecamp where our aid station will be ready to keep you fueled, hydrated, and cheered on — every lap, every time.

The Flow

Friday, September 26th: Camp check-in opens 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM (with late check-in available from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM). Find your spot, pitch your tent, settle in under the pines. Your campground fee is included in your registration, so all you need is your gear and your ganas — and if you don’t have gear, no problem! Email us and we’ll connect you with resources to borrow what you need.

Saturday, September 27th: The loop begins at 6:30 AM, chasing sunrise up Mount Hillyer, weaving through that sweet single track with your Chingona crew. Each loop starts and ends at our basecamp aid station, stocked with snacks, hydration, and all the encouragement you need to keep going, loop after loop. Run your heart out until the clock strikes 1:30 PM — see how many summits you can bag before the final bell rings. When the loops are done, it’s time for a post-run celebration. Gather for a hearty dinner meal, swap stories, laugh under the pines, and soak up that Chingona magic. You’ll walk away with a finisher’s medal and a keepsake to remember every brave mile and every unstoppable smile.

Sunday, September 28th: Morning grab and go breakfast. Option to join morning meditation. Clean-up and depart by 10:30 AM.
