Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

We are so excited to be back for our second year!  Located in the beautiful Southwestern Chihuahuan Desert, this race takes you through the canyon south of the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens on State Park and city land. Open to runners, hikers, ruckers, and walkers, you can participate in 1 of 3 challenges: 1 hour, 4 hour, or 8 hour challenge. Participants will have their selected time frame to complete as many 2-mile trail loops (out-and-back) as possible or desired. Carlsbad Roadrunners will provide support including 2 aid stations; 1 at the half-way point, and 1 at the bottom of the hill. If you have been wanting to attempt a longer distance, or even complete an ultra, this event is for you! Bring your family and friends to support you as you complete the Ocotillo Trail Endurance Challenge.  Note: Please continue to check our Facebook Page - Carlsbad Roadrunners, for the most current and up to date event information.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a little-known and often misunderstood cause of heart attacks. Most patients are young, healthy, active women who have none of the typical risk factors for heart disease. Although less common, SCAD can affect men as well. It can recur—and it can be fatal. More research is urgently needed to identify the causes and determine the most effective treatments. SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under age 50, including pregnant women and new mothers. This holiday season, we invite you to support this vital work. Your contribution helps fund research that brings us closer to answers, improved treatments, and lives saved.
