Skybreaker Racing was founded in 2019 by ultrarunner and adventurer Ben Mitchell along with Yuba Gold 50K. Having grown up in Nevada City, CA, Ben’s intent was to create an event showcasing the beautiful South Fork of the Yuba River.
“We chase the rivers, the mountains, and the soul inside.
We are without limits – we would break ourselves to touch the sky.”
News
After BABU 2026, we’ll be taking a break from putting on events for a while. All is well, but life gets complicated, and Race Directing is a lot of work, and we just need a break. Your understanding is much appreciated.
We hope to see you again in the future.
