If you're seeking an unconventional ultra experience, the opportunity to earn a coveted "Tire Pin" for those who complete the full duration makes this race a memorable endeavor.

The course itself is a flat, 1-mile asphalt loop along the scenic Barker Dam Trail, beginning at a yellow gate and featuring a 0.5-mile out-and-back section.

Typical race day conditions in early March often bring pleasant highs around 73°F and lows near 53°F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, providing favorable weather for sustained effort.

TirePullooza offers more than just a race; it's a community experience built around a shared, arduous goal. Following the grueling 12-hour tire drag, participants can look forward to a well-deserved dinner to celebrate their achievements and camaraderie.
