View boths sides of the island, the blue oceans, the famous Catalina buffalo, entertaining aid stations with food, drink and music, and all for a great charity that benefits Catalina Island programs. 50-mile out and back on scenic fireroads from Avalon to the Isthmus and return; takes runners through island's interior, which is generally closed.
Seven aid stations with water, Gatorade, defizzed cola, bananas, oranges, pretzels, M&Ms, and Gummi Bears (Drop bags at Little Harbor only!)
