Race Start
HIGH DESERT ULTRA 50K AND 30K

Ridgecrest, California
THE FRIENDLIEST RACE YOU'LL EVER RUN!

In our return to hosting the High Desert Ultra, we had 147 people start the race! Congratulations to our 50k champions! Jorge Pacheco (Bib #168) won the race in a time of 3:57:07. Jorge is no stranger to the OTHTC High Desert Ultra. This was his 19th finish and eighth win! Our female champion is Madeline Ogle (Bib #54) who finished in a time of 4:10:05. A time good enough for 3rd overall! This was Madeline's first OTHTC High Desert Ultra.

Congratulations to our 30k champions! Travis Cone (Bib #166) took first place in a time of 2:34:09. This was Travis' sixth OTHTC High Desert Ultra finish! Our female 30k champion is Summer Frazier (Bib #171) in a time of 2:41:40. This was Summer's first 30k finish, but she has three OTHTC High Desert 50k finishes. Here are the complete 50k and 30k results.

Be sure to check out the beautiful photos at David Turnbaugh's site.

We look forward to seeing you next year! Tell your friends we are back. Our desert area can provide great running conditions during the month of December, and we think this is a great event for first-timers and veterans alike. Enjoy great views of the southern Sierras and the Indian Wells Valley from the Rademacher and Spangler Hills south of Ridgecrest.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Over the Hill Track Club seeks to use the proceeds generated by the High Desert Ultra to benefit organizations in our community. By participating in this event, you will be supporting our youth running programs and local charities. Thank you!
