The Cause

Susan G Komen Foundation: Please bring money to donate for this very important cause or you can donate online right here on the website or on our Komen page.

The Fine Print

The Beer: We are looking for sponsors for fine beer from Germany. Your $100 donation is all it takes to get your logo published and recognition for contributing to the event and sponsoring a great beer.

The Race: It’s all about fun and earning the coveted TinCup. The race starts at 7am so you should get to the parking lot no later than 6:30am. From the parking lot we will ride down the road and enter onto the main trail. Up Dripping Cave, up Mathis, down Rock-It, left on Coyote, up Cholla, down Lynx, out the main trail back to the parking lot. Drop your bike, put on your running shoes. Down the road, right onto the main trail, up The Rock, up Dripping Cave, right at the bottom of Mathis, over the creek, right on the main trail, and take it home. Previous winners “may” be required to carry 20 pounds of rocks during the race.

The Rewards: Winner takes the TinCup, 2nd place Gets the TinHead, Spirit Award gets the V-Cup. Some may elect to do the entire race. Some may do it with a teammate, some may ride only. Some may just want to come out and do a long walk. Whatever makes you happy! Come prepared with everything you need; water is the most important. We provide nothing but fun on the course…the rest is on you.

The Party: Party starts at 3pm. The band is an OC premier rock band that has been around for decades. Great music. No kids, please. We will arrange transportation for you to get home, so you do NOT drink and drive! Or have a designated driver…let’s have fun and be safe.
