Race #7 takes place at the breathtaking Malibu Creek State Park, located in Malibu/Calabasas, CA. The event field is limited, so enter early! This is the Grand Mama event - the 22k goes up Bulldog (oh so fun), but what follows is some of the most amazing scenery in Malibu. The 6k is a great introductory trail run with single track and fireroad trails.

All participants get a great (seriously, it's not a plain white one) race t-shirt, cool finisher medal, hot breakfast with all the fixin's, coffee, entry into the raffle of swag, and the satisfaction of completing one of the best races around!

Race day registration and bib number pick up begins at 6:30am.
Please note that the course closes at 11:30am, so you must finish before then!

Packet Pick Up is on Saturday, April 29, 2012 from 10am - 2pm @ Malibu Creek State Park! There is free parking outside of the park, or just buy a year long pass ($125)!

Register NOW at IMathlete.

Registration closes at midnight (April 27, 2012). After that - you can register on Saturday, April 28 at Malibu Creek State Park from 10am - 2pm OR on race day (April 29) starting @ 6:30am.

The race takes place at Malibu Creek State Park, just south of Mulholland on Las Virgenes Road. Parking costs $12.00 at the park - correct change is appreciated. There is FREE limited parking just north of the park entrance for the earlier arrivers! But heck, park in the park - the park needs the money!

From 101 Fwy: take Las Virgenes Road south and turn right at Malibu Creek State Park, about 0.2 miles south of Mulholland Hwy.

From PCH: take Malibu Canyon Road north for six miles and turn left into Malibu Creek State Park.
