Yosemite Half Marathon
The first 5 miles of our course will start on Fire Rd and is on a rough terrain trail. There is no steep uphill or downhill here, but it’s not exactly flat either. The last 8.1 miles are identical to our inaugural course. Miles 6-10 are a fast downhill descent on a beautifully paved road. Then after crossing RD-274 (Malum Ridge Rd), you will turn right on N Shore Road. You will run on N Shore Road around Bass Lake until about mile 12.25. From there you will take a left on S Shore Rd. The race will finish at Recreation Point. This event is produced by Vacation Races and is the second race of the year in the National Park Half Marathon Series. The course runs about 10 miles south of Yosemite National Park in Bass Lake, CA. Most of the pre and post-race activities will be held in Bass Lake and nearby Oakhurst, CA.
