AR50 begins at Folsom Point at the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area in the Sierra-Nevada Foothills. Athletes will attempt to run their fastest race with the Folsom Lake sparkling in the background as they begin their 50-mile journey on single track trails. The course travels over the Lake Natoma Crossing Bridge, to the American River Bike Trail and up to Hazel Bluffs. The 25-milers will start their portion of the race at Beal’s Point, and the 50-milers will continue to push through the second half of their race. Runners will continue to test their physical and mental abilities from Granite Bay State Park, to the Pioneer Express Trail and to Dowdin’s Post where the trail travels to the infamous “Dam Wall” where runners begin the dramatic climb to the summit and are greeted by the “Party at Last Gasp.” Runners reach the home stretch with motivational mile marker signs, the sound of the congratulatory cow bells and energetic spectators as cheerleaders while they run their 2.5 victory miles to cross the finish line in Auburn.
