China Peak Trail Run

The China Peak Trail Run, held at China Peak Mountain Resort in Lakeshore, California, offers challenging mountain trail races of 12K, 25K, and 50K distances. Set in the Western Sierra Range, the courses feature 100% dirt roads and single-track trails with significant elevation changes—over 3,000 feet of gain per loop and maximum elevations above 8,500 feet. The 50K and 25K races consist of one or two big loops, while the 12K is an out-and-back route.

Aid stations are spaced every 5 to 7 miles. The event provides onsite camping, lodging, and a welcoming community atmosphere, making it ideal for runners seeking scenic, high-altitude trail challenges. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
