The Night Goat
Night Goat - Beginner
Are you ready to take on the desert at night?
This modified format will extend our Beginner, Goat (8-10km) and Borrego (4-5km) mass start tradition, but with a dusk start time. Following is encouraged, but as night settles and the group splinters, you might face the dark desert alone to complete this point to point course. Beginners who want just a taste of the night can opt for a lighted guide.
