The Stairway to Heaven Half Marathon and 15k Trail Race is brought to you by Dirt Devil Racing.com and is the third of the four races in the Half Marathon and Progressive Series. Runners will follow the course markings through the grasslands until they begin to ascend a steep 3/4-mile hill at mile 2 encountering their first aid station at the top. After reaching the top, runners will wind down into the canyon on a combination of narrow single track and fire road trails. After reaching the second aid station runners will descend into Suycott Wash making their way towards South Fortuna Mountain and the infamous "Stairway to Heaven." When runners reach the stairway they will ascend up South Fortuna on steps that have been carved into the mountain.
