Welcome to the 35th annual MEC.
The Malibu Ride is one of the oldest Endurance Rides in the AERC. This year we are reviving a past tradition having a 20 and 32 mile run along with the 55 mile race and 25 mile LD ride. (Don’t worry, runners start after the horses so we shouldn’t have any issues) We are promoting this as a “Multi Use” trail event for extreme athletes. Who knows maybe next year we will add mountain bikers as well…

On second thought... Run was just cancelled.... More about that later..

Our terrain is technical and beautiful. If you want to ride Tevis or run Western States and test to see if you are ready, there is no better training ground then the Malibu mountains. We have always used it as our Tevis barometer to see how fit we and our horses are. The trail is the same trail that past Tevis record holder used to prepare for his win.

Mile for mile we have more elevation than the Tevis trail, loads of single track, water crossings, a bridge (not swinging), heat and an ocean view. In the LD we also have our own version of Cougar Rock.
