Back on the Ranch Trail Run

The Back On The Ranch Trail Run, held at the private Sand Creek Ranch in Los Olivos, California, is an annual trail running event featuring multiple timed race options including 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48-hour runs. Participants complete as many 3.25-mile loops as possible on a clockwise, single-direction course with about 302 feet of vertical gain per lap. The terrain combines hard-packed dirt roads and soft single-track trails, offering a runnable surface.

The event fosters a welcoming, community atmosphere with free camping and parking near the course, well-stocked aid stations, and awards for top finishers. It emphasizes connection, scenic running, and a laid-back vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
