course description
Are you ready to SCRAMBLE? This amazing new trail race showcases the best of the Susan River Canyon! Runners will head up the Bizz Johnson Trail from Hobo Camp for the first half and return via the beautiful and flowy singletrack on the Southside trail across the river. The Southside Scramble has 3 different distances to choose from, a 22K, a 14K, and a 7K. All races start on the Bizz Johnson Trail at the Hobo Camp Bridge and all races end at the Hobo Camp Day Use Area
For the Dirty Devil's 22K, runners start on the Bizz Johnson Trail at the Hobo Camp Bridge and take the "outbound" portion of the Bizz Johnson Trail all the way to Devil's Corral. From Devil's Corral, runners turn and drop down to the Susan River, crossing over a seasonal foot bridge, and enter the stunningly beautiful Southside trail with its rockslides, vista points, and flowy single track all the way back to Hobo Camp.
The Tunnel's Blast 14K starts on the Bizz Johnson Trail at the Hobo Camp Bridge and takes the "outbound" portion of the Bizz Johnson Trail to the entrance to the first railroad tunnel. Before heading into the darkness of the tunnel, runners will veer off onto singletrack, where they climb over the top of the tunnel to reach the Southside Trail. From there, they will enjoy the stunningly beautiful Southside trail with its rockslides, vista points, and flowy single track all the way back to Hobo Camp
The "Hobo's Special" 7K starts on the Bizz Johnson Trail at the Hobo Camp bridge and heads up to the Twin Bridges Access connector to the Southside Trail. You'll get just enough of the Bizz Johnson's steady climb to excite your senses for the fast, flowy Southside's single-track return. Once you get to the finish, enjoy a cold beverage, snacks, and a cool dip in the Susan River! If you want more excitement, bring a picnic lunch as you chill and watch the finish. Charcoal BBQ's are also available for use at the finish line.
