Bizz Johnson's Southside Scramble
This amazing new trail race showcases the best of the Susan River Canyon! Runners will head up the Bizz Johnson Trail from Hobo Camp for the first half and return via the beautiful and flowy singletrack on the Southside trail across the river. The Southside Scramble has 3 different distances to choose from, a 22K, a 14K, and a 7K. All races start and end at the Hobo Camp Day Use Area. On ODD years, we will run a reversed course! For 2025, all races go out the Southside Trail and back on the Bizz Johnson Trail.
