Race Information

California's ultimate trail half-marathon will challenge you with its climbs, peaks, and stunning vistas, making it an unforgettable experience. You will begin your journey in Avalon, running past the historic Wrigley Mansion before entering the Interior for several miles of challenging climbs. At the summit, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, and on a clear day, you might even spot two other islands that are part of the Channel Islands.

After taking in the incredible scenery at the summit, you'll descend through the beautiful Wrigley Memorial before returning to the town of Avalon. Additionally, the 10K route offers an equally scenic course as it winds through the picturesque hillsides of Avalon.
