The Ghost Bridge 14? course is NorCalUltras’ newest addition. The bridge was built in 1929, before the Folsom Dam and is made of concrete. After multiple GPS and map checks, no one knows the mileage of the race down to the decimal point – it is more than 14 miles, but no more than 15 miles. The beautiful 14ish-mile point-to-point course starts at Brown’s Ravine Folsom Lake SRA and finishes at the Salmon Falls Bridge Parking Lot.
“Folsom is a naturally beautiful setting for premier running races with its abundant recreation and trail system,” said Mary Ann McAlea, Senior Vice President of Greater Folsom Partnership. “Folsom extends a big welcome to all runners along with our restaurants, shops and hotels who appreciate everyone who directly benefits our local economy. Let us introduce you to the 95630 experience!”
All runners are eligible to win prizes from a random drawing and will be announced after the race. Two lucky winners will win a TheraGun, one winner per wave will receive a $20 gift card to Fleet Feet and five winners will receive a prize from GU by taking a selfie with the ghost after mile 10.
