Offical TOR RunAttendees:
Please refer to the trail ratings section for a good idea of this trail. This is a 20+ mile long trail through the Catalina mountains. We will be entering through the Catalina side, and continuing through the entire trail exiting on the Oracle side. Depending on the amount of rigs that attend, this run can range anywhere from 6 - 8 hours. Yes, you read that right. We will likely be getting back in the early morning hours. The hours were chosen due to the temperatures during the day.
31" tires and at least one traction device recommended. However, this trail can be run with open diffs and good driver skill.
This run is open to anyone, member or not, but keep in mind that we will be running it in the dark. The trail is totally different without daylight.
If your not interested in running your own rig and would rather ride, there will be plenty of open seats, so if your interested in riding with someone else, we'd be glad to have you. However, that being said, if you'd like to give it a try, anyone is welcome. We will gladly assist anyone in making their way through this trail.
