Countdown to Race Day

Description

We are celebrating our 10th year! The California Classic Half Marathon and the California Classic Century rides are on the same weekend, giving you the option to do one event or both in our Michelob ULTRA Challenge!

Join us Saturday April 4th, 2020 as we will host 2,000 riders as they get to experience the ONLY bike ride that closes a freeway! Then on Sunday April 5th, 2020 we will host 3,000 runners in our Half Marathon and our inaugural 10k Run as participants run through African Adventure in Fresno Chaffee Zoo, with a grand finish along home-plate inside Chukchansi Stadium. Or choose our Rock and Run 5k, it doesn't go through the Zoo, but has all of the other benefits of the Half Marathon.

As a special treat! We are treating all participants to a baseball game with the Fresno Grizzlies at Chukchansi Park.

The Orangetheory Health & Fitness Expo is April 3rd at Clovis Recreational Center on Clovis Ave and Dakota Ave from 11:30 to 6:30.

10k Zoo Run

We have replaced the Relay with our 10k Zoo Run! No more of just one runner gets to run through the Zoo! This point-to-point 6.2 mile run starts right outside the Chaffee Zoo, travels through the Zoo as it winds its way back through Downtown Fresno where you finish in grand-style along home-plate inside of Chukchansi Park. Yes all 10k runners will get to join the half marathon runners as they run or walk in amazement through the Fresno Chaffee Zoo and gaze at the beautiful animals inside the Zoo!
10k Runners will be bused from Chukchansi Park to the Zoo where they will start at the same time as the half marathon back at Chukchansi Park.

Bike

Whether you are biking in our Mini Metric - 35 mile, Metric - 60 mile or Century - 100 mile course you will bike 10 miles on a closed freeway. Yes the freeway is closed to traffic just for you!

Rock n Run 5k

The Rock n Run 5k is a family event and for those who aren't quite up to a 10k or half marathon but still want the run/party experience! You will run or walk through Downtown Fresno and rock to the sounds of Rock n Roll. This event does not go through the Zoo but does Finish along home plate inside of Chukchansi Park. 5k finisher's will receive ALL the amenities that our half marathon and 10k participants receive including our custom finisher's medallion.

New Safari Pin Every Year!

Each year we add a new Safari Animal Pin. In 2018 we featured the tiger, 2019 it was the Giraffe. For 2020 we are highlighting the Elephant. If you haven't already, now is a good time to start a collection of amazing animals that are located at the Chaffee Zoo. All runners will receive their Giraffe pin to add to their collection at the Health and Fitness Expo when they pick up their bib number, shirt, and other items.

Bike & Run Medallions

Every year our medallions interlock if you participate in both days. 2020 medallions will stick to that tradition.
