Inside Trail - Santa Cruz Trail Run

The Santa Cruz Trail Run, hosted by Inside Trail Racing, takes place at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton, California. Scheduled for August 23, 2025, the event offers three distances: 10K, Half Marathon, and 30K, featuring challenging courses through giant redwoods, twisting single-track trails, fire roads, and a unique half-mile ridge of loose sand. Runners experience ocean breezes and river crossings, with aid stations every 5-6 miles providing energy gels, snacks, and hydration.

The race is professionally chip-timed and capped at 330 participants. Post-race festivities include food and family-friendly activities in the scenic park setting. The event promotes sustainability as a cupless race, requiring runners to carry their own reusable cups or bottles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
