The Course

One of the most beautiful courses in the nation will take you on a journey through classic California - a turn-of-the-century (19th century that is) downtown, historic neighborhoods with Victorian and Bungalow houses, past a Frank Lloyd Wright building and Chinese Garden, out into the Edna Valley with Morros, vineyards and farmland and a downhill finish at the iconic Madonna Inn.

Wine Country

Where do we start? There is so much to see and do in San Luis Obispo. During the race, you'll see the best of our community. Afterward, or before for that matter, explore! Check out the course and stop at the Edna Valley wineries. Try our gourmet restaurants serving up farm fresh foods. Go on an "art stroll" through downtown. Maybe take a hike, go surfing, golfing, kayaking or shopping. Or just chill at the historic Fremont Theater. So much to do and so much fun!
