Champion Mine Trail Race

Champion Mine Trail Race is held in Nevada City, California, featuring two events: a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K Fun & Fitness Run/Walk. The inaugural race from the Bear Yuba Land Trust and Sierra TrailBlazers uses a dynamic mix of pavement, gravel, and single-track trails, with rewarding climbs and a crossing of a historic swinging bridge. Runners enjoy scenic views along the Tribute Trail and Deer Creek, with sections through pine forests and a newly constructed trail.

The course begins on Broad Street and includes multiple aid stations, finish-line photos, a commemorative medal, and a race shirt for the half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
