100 Mile "Sufferfest", 100 & 50 Mile 4 Person Relay "Shit Shows"
Race Date: February 1st, 2025
10 Reasons the Lake Sonoma 100 is the Most Unique and Exciting 100 Mile Race Around
1. The Vert:
Lake Sonoma offers unique terrain with significant elevation gain, that is not commonly found without venturing deep into the mountains. The Sea Level Monster — Elevation gain: ~24,000 feet
2. Runnability:
Lake Sonoma is not technical for seasoned trail runners. This allows for fast running.
3. Festival-like atmosphere:
With the Little Baby backyard run - a 2-mile loop every 30 minutes or until marathon distance is reached — located right off the visitor center and start/finish area of the 100-mile and 100-mile relay, it will be a party. The start/finish area will have live music, drinks, food and a high-energy ambiance. The backyard loop will be rowdy. There will be free vehicle and tent camping for all runners at the start/finish area.
4. Runner Friendly:
The runner’s experience is prioritized over everything else. This means generous cutoff times, amazing aid stations, flawless trails, and outstanding volunteers.
5. SWAG:
Quality over quantity; one to two nice objects per race event. Something memorable and something that runners will want to wear/use.
6. COVWSF:
Charity race — Children of Vineyard Workers Scholarship Fund
7. Wine Tasting & Food Truck:
At the start/finish area there will be a wine tasting & food truck for friends, family, crews, and Little Baby runners.
8. Trail Shops & Run Clubs:
Comped and discounted entries for trail shop workers and run club runners. With Run Club and Trail Shop award categories
(Top 3 Trail Shops; Top 3 Run Clubs)
9. Trail Surfing Conditions; Rain and Mud:
You will get muddy, you will get dirty, that’s trail surfing, that’s Lake Sonoma in the winter. A 100-mile running event in the winter is still something new. This will only make the experience more memorable. Aid stations and aid station volunteers will be prepared for the weather. As the runner, you must be prepared too; bring a rain jacket, gloves, and extra layers.
10. Pre and Post Race Things to Do:
Party with sponsors at Thursday shakeout run, Friday morning shakeout run with sponsors present.
Fun bib-pickup atmosphere. Pre-race dinner.
