Description
🌕🐺 THE COYOTE IS BACK, BABY! 🐺🌕 with a new distance!!!
Mark your lunar calendars and start charging your headlamps—we’re howling at the moon again in 2026, and yes... it’s happening on a FULL MOON WEEKEND. Because why suffer in the daylight when you can suffer under celestial drama?
We’re keeping some of the old classics (like pain and questionable decisions) and adding some spicy new twists. If you're thinking, "Should I train for this?" the answer is: you should’ve started yesterday. Ask questions later, just start running uphill and don’t stop until you hit 6,200 feet.
Welcome back to Coyote Two Moon—featuring a buffet of suffering for all appetites:
100mi
100K
55mi
55K
30K
10K
(Yes, we even have a “fun run” if you're into that sort of thing.)
🎢 Want numbers? How about:
100 milers: ~26,000 ft. of climbing (that's Everest... if Everest had tacos and sarcasm)
100K: ~17,000 ft. of gain (your quads will file a complaint)
55mi: ~15,000 ft. of climb (leg day? Every day.)
⏱ Cutoffs? 42 hours. That’s nearly two full Netflix seasons’ worth of trail time. No excuses, especially if you're one of those “Coyote FourPlay” alumni who claim to like this stuff.
🏔 Location: The stunning Los Padres National Forest in Ojai, CA. It's beautiful. It’s brutal. It’s basically trail running Disneyland with more dirt and fewer churros.
🧠 BUT WAIT—only 150 spots total for all distances combined. That’s right. This thing could sell out faster than you can say "Duct Tape My Ankles."
🚨 Thinking of tackling the 100-miler? You’ll need to prove your mountain cred. That means a 100K with 10,000+ feet of vert under your belt. No vert, no entry.
💥 Fun Fact: In 2020, 5 out of 7 finishers got into Hardrock. Translation: These odds are better than Vegas. (But don’t quote us on that.)
So lace ‘em up, mark your calendar, and prepare to howl at the moon with us in 2026.
It’s going to be wild, weird, and absolutely wonderful.
🌕🐾 Coyote Two Moon: Come for the trails, stay for the altitude hallucinations.
