\n\t\tCAMPING\n\t<\/h1>\n\t\t

\t\n\tHOME BASE<\/h2>\t\t\n\t\t\t

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<\/a> for the race.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t

\t\n\tPRO TIP<\/h4>\t\t\n\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"smr19-cover-47\"\n
