CAMPING & LODGING

HOME BASE

The Silver Moon Race at CASS Winery has a few options for setting up a home base during the race.

Those who want the ultimate experience with luxury lodging will want to reserve one of the 8-rooms at the GENESEO INN located within the vineyards right off the course.

Those who like to rough it can set up camp around the course with a tent, car camp, or RV.

Camping or lodging 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 vineyards.

If running 12-hours or longer we highly recommend lodging or camping for the best experience. You can reserve a camp space when registering for the race or reserve a room directly at the Geneseo Inn. See details below.

PRO TIP

As the race starts at 6:00 PM, it is highly recommended to come on Saturday morning, set up, check-in, enjoy winery lunch, and 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 journey.

CAMPING RULES

No cars driving on the course route from Saturday 5:00 PM to Sunday after midnight or last runner has finished.
Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 require driving and setting up right along the course, so tents set up in these zones need be for the duration of the entire event until Sunday night or Monday morning. 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 park your car in the parking zone before the race starts, then carry your items back to your parked car when leaving. A wagon is very helpful.
Full-size RVs or fifth-wheel trailer RVs if staying until Sunday night or Monday morning then can park at designated zones for RVs, if leaving before the race finishes then you will need to set up in Zone 6 (on main parking road) or 8 or in the parking zone. We recommend turning around before parking so it's easy to exit.
No open campfires. Contained pit fires or propane pits are okay as long as they are never left unattended. Bring a fire extinguisher. The areas surrounding the vineyard are high-risk fire hazard.
Propane cooking stoves are okay. All fire must be supervised
Make sure any canopies or RV awnings do not get in the way of the course or impact runners.
Okay to set up a tent between the vine rows. Do not damage vines.
Do not leave any trash behind, respect the lands, clean up after yourself and take trash with you.
