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. This scenic event offers three distances: 10K, Half Marathon, and 30K, featuring challenging courses through giant redwoods, twisting single-track trails, dirt 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 emphasizes environmental care as a cupless event, requiring runners to carry their own reusable cups or bottles. Post-race festivities include food and family-friendly activities in the park. The event has a 330-runner capacity and is professionally chip-timed.
