New for 2018 - If one day of cookies and climbs isn’t enough, you can sign up for both days, with two new routes on Saturday Oct 27, which fits in more stunning climbs. The new 35 mile Saturday Sugar Cookie features Stunt Road, one of the best climbs in the Santa Monica Mountain range. The new 55 mile Saturday Chocolate Chip squeezes in the climbs of Old Topanga Canyon and Fernwood to cover the climbs you can't get to on Sunday's main event, decending down Piuma back to the Sponsor Expo. The routes are shorter but still challenging, with minimal overlap on Sunday's routes.
If you’re here just for the main event on Sunday Oct 28, it won't disappoint. Suffer on Malibu's toughest climbs, and recover with fun descents and breath-taking ocean views, fuelled by Clif products, fresh fruits and gourmet cookies from Chef Jeff Mahin.
