Event details and schedule

Events begin on April 3rd at 9 am, and packets are available at the start. Both courses are on rolling hills along the Bernalillo Watershed Road. To get there, take I-25 north from Albuquerque to exit 242, and head east for 2.1 miles on Highway 165. The start is approximately half a mile east of the Homestead Village shopping mall, on the south side of the road. Parking is available along the shoulder on 165. 

Prizes will go to the first three finishers (male/female) in each of the following categories: Youth (age 1 - 39), Masters (age 40-49), Grand Masters (age 50-59), Seniors (60-69), Geezers (70+).

In honor of Charlie, who always raced without a shirt, participants who run shirtless (not topless) will receive two dollars back at the finish line.
