The Experience

The Blood Sweat and Beers Trail Run is nestled in the American River Canyon and will happen on July 23, 2023. The course has rocks, roots (to keep you on your toes or on your face), lot’s of dirt, hills, and wildlife. Both the Long Course (10.5 miles) and Short Course (5.9 miles) are a challenging mix of single track mountainous trail, a totally cool canal system, unimproved dirt roads with just a hint of paved roads to keep things interesting.
