Holcomb Valley Trail Run

The Holcomb Valley Trail Run, held annually in Big Bear Lake, California, offers runners three challenging distances: 33 miles, 14 miles, and 7 miles. The race course features scenic sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Forest Service roads through Holcomb Valley, with significant elevation gains and losses—up to 4,150 feet for the longest distance. Starting and finishing at Meadows Edge Picnic Area, the event includes multiple well-stocked aid stations and drop bag support for the 33-mile race.

Rich in history, the valley was a key site during California's gold rush. The run supports local volunteer search and rescue efforts, creating a community-focused and spirited atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
