Granite Head

Granite Head 2025, billed as Granite Bay’s Best Trail Run and part of Trails & Ales, is a two-distance trail race presented by Altra in Granite Bay, California. Runners can tackle a gnarly 6.6-mile short course or an epic 11.2-mile long course. Both start and finish at Granite Beach, with the course clearly marked along Granite Bay trails.

The day blends rugged trail racing with a post-race celebration: every entrant receives a commemorative tech tee, a burrito, and a complimentary beer (21+). Parking fees apply unless you have a park pass, and carpooling is encouraged. A spirited finish-line party awaits the participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
