Twin Peaks covers very rough terrain in rough and remote locations that are not easily accessible and can have extreme weather conditions from time to time. We will provide essentials such as water, electrolytes, soda, salty and sugary snacks and at least one hot food aid station (and hot food at the finish line). Twin Peaks is still one of the lowest cost ultras in SoCal. We provide safety, fun, and a beautiful and challenging course you are sure to not forget!
