Peacock Gap Trail Run
San Rafael, California, United States
Dec 5, 2026 - Saturday
10k, 30k, Half-marathon
Race Information
Take a jaunt out to China Camp is San Rafael, just a few miles north of San Francisco for a challenging 5k, 10k half marathon or 35k trail race.
An extensive trail network greets you with views of Mt. Tam, San Pablo Bay, and San Francisco Bay as you traverse twisting single-track trails, climbing up and over the peak. The courses wind along thick forests and descend out into open trails on the San Pablo Bay side of the park. Each race is relatively fast, with a nice punch of a climb beginning 1.5 miles into the course, leaving plenty of room to push it or just hike.
