About

The Merced Canyon Endurance Runs take place on April 3, 2027, in Briceburg, in the Merced River canyon in Mariposa County, with two trail options: a flat 5-mile (8 km) out-and-back and a tough 8.8-mile (14.2 km) hill climb. Both races start at 8:00 a.m.

The McCabe Flat flat out runs between the Briceburg bridge and the McCabe Flat campground and will appeal to runners of all abilities. The Burma Grade hill climb is a demanding race that starts at river level and climbs the Burma Grade, with significant elevation gain. Both events are run on well-packed dirt roads with panoramic views of the Merced River canyon.
