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 that showcased 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."

Trail Running Events Calendar
SBR also maintains a trail running events calendar. This is Auburn-centric and primarily focused on trail ultras in Northern Calfornia, but you will also see other popular events in other areas here and there, as well as some sub-ultra distance events. Feel free to add this Google Calendar.
