January 19th 2008 - - - Glinn and Giordano Rio Bravo Rumble!

This 10K run and 16 mile mountain bike ride will challenge all levels of ability. Race starts at 9:30 AM. You can enter as an individual or team. Teams designate one runner and one biker. Teams are categorized as all male, all female, or mixed. Last year we had several husband-wife teams that had a blast. There is also a free kids race (ages 4-11).

The venue takes place on the Rio Bravo ranches near the mouth of the Kern River Canyon. This is on private ranch land, inaccessible the rest of the year. It is a true privilege to run/bike on this gorgeous course.

Cost is $20 per person early, $30 day of.
