Euchre Bar Massacre

The Euchre Bar Massacre takes place on Saturday, Oct 11, 2025, starting at 6:00 AM at the Giant Gap Campground in Foresthill, CA. The event offers two distances: 25 miles and 50 miles, set in a picturesque but rigorous environment.

Course Details: Expect approximately 10,000' of climbing for the 25 mile route and 20,000' for the 50 mile route, with much of the course requiring bushwhacking and route finding. The course includes off-trail sections, making it both a thrilling and a challenging experience.

There is no entry fee for participants, but runners must wait at the finish line for at least one runner to finish. Registration is limited to 50 participants to maintain a small-experience vibe.

Location: The run starts and finishes at the Shirttail Creek Campground, looping through beautiful trails with one designated area for drop bags and crews.

Registration: Registration closes Friday, Oct 10, at 11:59 PM PT. Email the race director at [email protected] to join the waiting list if the event is full; historically, everyone on the waitlist has gotten in.

Note: Last year's finishers completed the 25 mile event in about 14 hours and the 50 mile event in around 25 hours. Distances are approximate and may refer to nautical miles.
