Indian Gulch-Hornitos Run

The 46th Annual Indian Gulch - Hornitos run is hosted by the Merced Running Club (MRC).  Come run the historic Hornitos foothills on this road race through some of California's most beautiful range land. Select from 2, 5, and 10-mile out & back courses from the town of Hornitos to Indian Gulch.Walkers are welcome on the 2 and 5 mile course.

Join us for this race at the Hornitos Central Park, where you will find the starting line. There will be aid stations at the turnaround for each distance (3 total). The race pre-registration fee for all events is $35. Same-day race day registration will be available for $40 per person, and registration will be open race day from 7:00 - 8:00 AM, cash and checks only. T-shirts will be given away for all  pre-registrations, and available first-come first-served to same-day registrants. Top finishers in each 10-year age group earn a unique, race-themed award! Race registration includes a continental breakfast, and part of the proceeds benefit the Mariposa High School Track Team. As much as we love babies and dogs, we do not recommend them for this race as it is run on an open road with a narrow shoulder. 

This is a cupless event. Please bring your own cups and/or drinking bottles for water at aid stations.
