Free. You can start with nothing.
Out and back from the Jesusita Trailhead to Romero Canyon Trailhead, covering most of the Santa Barbara front country trail system, with the steep Edison Catwalk climb the locals call the wall.
Steep, rocky, technical trail with long sections between aid stations and limited support. The race says it runs like a tough 50 miler. The course may be modified at the direction of the USFS because of possible fire and flood damage.
Nine Trails runs the Santa Barbara front country from the Jesusita Trailhead out to Romero Canyon and back: steep, rocky, technical trail with long stretches between aid. A 17 mile out-and-back fun run to Gibraltar Road starts two hours later.

2 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
