What is California Radness?

Part experiential marketing agency, part content creators, part brand, but most importantly, a LIFESTYLE. A true passion project of Chris Schierholtz and Arthur Alvarez for many years. “ My goal has always been to use this as a platform to create community, to learn + grow, to get rad brands involved and to get more people active outside” - says Schierholtz. “We have produced many MTB, GRAVEL BIKE, and TRAIL RUNNING events and have worked with some awesome brands (lululemon, Arc’Teryx, Sunski, Equator Coffee, Best Day Brewing, and Giro to name a few).” Get ready for the launch of CALIFORNIA RADNESS 2.0 coming soon but for now check out all the awesome info for our Gravel Camp 2024!

    My life goal is to get more people active outside and California Radness is one of the vehicles to do it. Combining my passion for cycling and the out of doors lifestyle into my livelihood and to share as much of that stoke is possible. I’ve spent thousands of hours on Mt Tam and am so excited to share what I would call the Ultimate Gravel Retreat.
