Course Description

The half marathon starting line is located at the Applewhite Campground in Lytle Creek. The first 6 miles of the half marathon include fast and steep downhill running through the scenic San Bernardino National Forest and Lytle Creek Community. The last 7.1 miles of the course are also fast but more of a moderate to gradual downhill run along Sierra Avenue towards Fontana’s City Hall. There is an elevation drop of 2,125 feet from start to finish and because of this, most participants are able to record their personal record time (PR) in Fontana.
