Weekend Visitor Information

The Mother Lode Epic “Base Camp” (including start line shuttles, finish line, concert, and awards ceremony) is located in Historic Folsom! Here are three reasons this makes our race epic’er:

Nearby hotels: Out-of-towners and locals alike can turn race weekend into a va(stay)cation with close proximity to start shuttle staging, finish line, awards, and weekend activities!
Entertainment for the whole family: You’ll be steps away from activities including Lake Natoma water access, shopping and restaurants in Historic Folsom, the American River Bike Trail, and more.
The Folsom experience: We’re proud to showcase our community and our local trails alongside our partners at Visit Folsom.
