Thank You and hope to see you out there. Mauricio

We’re ready for you and for the incredible journey that lies ahead through the T**a T**a Mountains. 🏔️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️❤️

Every step you take out there will be part of something bigger than just miles on a trail. It’s a journey through rugged climbs, breathtaking views, quiet moments, and the kind of challenges that remind you exactly why you signed up in the first place. The T**a T**as will test you, inspire you, and reward you in ways only these mountains can.

Our entire team has been working hard to make sure the course is dialed in, the trails are marked, and the experience is something you’ll remember long after you cross that finish line. Whether you’re chasing a goal, pushing your limits, or simply soaking in the beauty of the mountains, this weekend is all about your adventure. 🏔️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️❤️

Ladybug 🐞 are out in full bloom🐞🐞🐞🐞

What time is it???
Oh… it’s not just any time it’s COYOTE TWO MOON TIME, BABY!!!

That magical moment of the year when sleep becomes optional, and the beautiful Ojai mountains are about to witness greatness… and a little bit of suffering (the good kind… mostly).

We are officially at FULL SEND 🚀 getting everything dialed in to deliver an unforgettable weekend epic views, brutal climbs, questionable decisions, and stories you’ll be telling for years.

As the legendary Speedgoat himself, Karl Meltzer, likes to casually say:
“100 miles is not that far…”
which is easy to say when you’ve basically run around the planet a few times 😅

And speaking of legends… throw it back to 2008, the very first Coyote Two Moon, where Karl made that propeller hat spin, and made it look like a casual Sunday jog. One of those “fair weather” years… you know, the kind where everything goes right and nobody cries (much).

But THIS year? What’s in store for you ??

So the real question is…

ARE. YOU. READY. 🔥

Because the mountains are waiting. The trail is calling.
And that buckle and medals aren’t going to earn itself. 📸 Don Lundell

With only 7 days until the 2026 C2M, we’re in that final phase of getting stuff together , sleep is optional… and we still need a few legends to step up and make this thing run smoother than a fresh pair of trail shoes.

We’re looking for brave (and slightly adventurous) souls to fill these critical roles:

Aid Station Heroes: Hand out snacks, hydration, and the occasional life advice to runners questioning their existence.
Trail Marking Ninjas: Make sure no one accidentally turns a 50K into an unplanned 100-miler.
Trail Sweepers: The real MVPs bringing up the rear and making sure every runner gets home.

Whether you’re crewing a runner, love the trail community, or just want front-row seats to some beautiful chaos, we’d love to have you out there with us.

Perks? Oh yeah: A sweet Patagonia Sun Hoodie, top-tier trail vibes, race-day excitement, and enough good karma to last at least until your next race.

Let’s talk about Gridley Trail (22W05)

Probably the most manicured trail on the entire Coyote Two Moon course like, if trails got spa days, Gridley definitely gets the hot stones and cucumber water. Smooth, clean, and California carpeting. It’s got that incline that’s perfect whether you’re running up, cruising down, or pretending you’re still “running” while power-hiking with purpose.

You hit Gridley somewhere around mile 52 to mile 63 of the 100 miler. By then, your legs aren’t legs anymore.

This is where Gridley smiles at you like, “C’mon, it’s runnable!” while your quads are feeling the miles.

But honestly, that’s what makes Gridley special. It feels runnable even when your body says otherwise. It’s that trail that gives you just enough hope to trick you into thinking, “Okay… I got this.” And for a few glorious moments you actually do.

So what do you guys think about Gridley?
Trail hero? Sneaky leg killer? Or that mid-race frenemy that looks friendly but knows exactly what it’s doing? 🏃🏾‍♂️⛰️😊
