Course Description
The Pine to Palm 100M begins in Williams, climbing immediately into rugged mountain terrain.

Along the way, runners will find stunning views of peaks like Wagner Butte, alpine lakes including Acorn Woman Lakes, and long sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. Aid stations, crew access, and pacer points are strategically placed to support this demanding point-to-point journey.
This race is built on the ethos of adventure and respect for the mountains. Expect rugged terrain, changing weather, and the kind of challenge that will stick with you for life.
