i ran the rio bravo 10 miler when i was in high school (early 80s) and it used to be an out and back course that started at the picnic grounds behind the kern river golf course.

it ran through the orange orchards and was mainly downhill out and uphill coming back. interestingly there was 4 or 5 cattle fences and they were all locked so one had to climb over them.

also there were a couple more creek crossing too. the creek crossing had planks across them but often everyone ran through them.

lastly, there were cows on the course and sometimes they wouldnt move or they ran along in front of you. with cows came their cow patties too.

in the old days, a lot of runners broke 60 on the course too. on the out and back course one had to climb over 8 fences and cross the creek 6 times.
