The Orangevale course features a centralized venue with the start/finish at the back part of the park, allowing spectators to see more of the course from the start finish area as it wraps around on three sides. The course hits all the classic cross features with plenty of wide open grass, sand, Belgian stairs, off camber corners and the trail through the woods. Not much elevation change at the park but there are some long false flats on grass that put your legs to work in between the punchy fun stuff.
Course length: 1.75 miles
Elevation per lap: ~44 feet
Course direction: Clockwise

Chip Placement: Please wear your RFID chip on either ankle on the OUTSIDE of your sock! If your sock gets too mud-soaked it won’t read.
If you would like to pre-ride the course, you may do so from 8:00 am to 9:10 am on race morning. If you arrive after that time, please queue just past the finish line as a race is finishing up. The race announcer will let you know when you may get on the course to pre-ride. Please do not ever pass someone who is currently racing! If you have any questions, we are happy to answer them at the registration tent.
