China Camp Challenge Race Day Information

The China Camp Challenge Trail Run begins at 8:30AM on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at the Miwok Meadows Campground at China Camp State Park.  Parking is free along San Pedro Road, but we encourage you to carpool with other runners.

Check in and Bib Pickup: 

7:30AM - 8:30AM. Please arrive and check in at least 30 minutes before the start of your event.

​

Cupless Events:
We are doing our small part for the environment and going cupless for all of our events. We hope you will help us by bringing your own water container (plastic cup or bottle, hydration pack, etc.) or we can sell you a Hydra Pouch for $5 on race day.

Course Markings:

• The course will be marked with ribbons approximately every 200 yards.
  
• Multiple ribbons will be placed together indicating a turn at an intersection.
  
• The ribbons will be before and on the same side as the turn to point you in the right direction
  
• If you do not see any ribbons after a few minutes, you are probably off course.  You should retrace your route until you find the last ribbon.
