Billy Goat's Half Marathon Climb Race Description
Important News re: Billy Goat Half Marathon Climb.
Protected wildlife activities were being monitored near the original route, so the Forest Service required that we change the race course. Therefore, Billy Goat Half Marathon Climb was moved to Saturday, May 10, 2025 in order to accomodate a new location.
Billy Goat will run out of Silverado, CA, up Maple Springs Road to N. Main Divide this year. We ran at this location last year and it was beautiful. There may be some creek crossings and a nice long mountain climb with grand views. Maple Springs is located in Trabuco District, Cleveland National Forest just outside of Silverado.
The elevation gain for the full course is approximately 2,560 feet. The elevation gain for the 10k is approximately 1,384 ft.
