CAMPING

HOME BASE

Camping at the race adds to the overall race experience. Giving you a home base before, during, and after the race where you can rest, access your stuff, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are running 12-hours or longer we highly recommend setting up camp for the best experience. You can reserve a camp space when registering for the race.

There will be several designated camping zones right on the course and race festival area for easy access throughout the race. This all takes place on Reedley College Farms, these are not traditional campground spaces, plan to be fully self-sufficient with your camping setup. Portable toilets and a trash dumpster will be available, please deposit all trash in the dumpster before leaving. Zone details below are followed by the map with green areas marked.

PRO TIP

As the race starts at 6:00 PM, it is highly recommended to come set up camp on Saturday morning, settle in, then take a nice long nap in the afternoon so you can be well-rested before starting your 6, 12, 24-hour or 100-mile race.

  • Zones 2 - 7 access are directly on the course, so camping set up in these zones need to be for the duration of the entire event until Sunday midnight after the last runner finishes or until Monday morning.
  • If running 6 or 12-hour races and you wish to camp in Zones 2-7, please be aware that you will need to carry your camp gear back to the parking zone, you will not be able to drive on the course while race is in progress.
  • Okay to drive to unload before the event and load after the event has completed. If leaving these areas before the race is over Sunday night then you will need to carry your items back to your parked car.
  • Full-size RVs or fifth-wheel trailer RVs can be challenging to drive to the course and have very limited turnaround options. Small to medium RVs that can easily turn around is okay.
