Designed for strong trail legs and good mountain sense, That’s No Moon links steep climbs, exposed ridgelines, and forest roads above Orange County. Runners can choose from 50 Mile, 50K, or 30K courses, all sharing the same wild backdrop and low-frills, well-stocked aid stations. The race hub is near 13333 Black Star Canyon Rd, Silverado, placing participants directly onto Cleveland National Forest terrain for a big-views, big-vert day out on the ridge. Mark your calendar for September 20, 2025—it’s a SoCal ultra with plenty of bite.
