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: 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours. Participants complete as many 3.25-mile loops as possible on a scenic course with about 302 feet of vertical gain per loop, combining hard-packed dirt roads and soft single-track trails. The event offers well-stocked aid stations every loop and free camping near the course, accommodating tents, RVs, and trailers.

Runners can choose day or night segments for the 12-hour race, and a 100-mile challenge is available for 24-hour runners. The atmosphere emphasizes community, connection, and outdoor adventure. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
