Montara Mountain Trail Run

Montara Mountain Trail Run takes place at San Pedro Valley Park in Pacifica, California. The event offers 10K, Half Marathon, 20 miles, Marathon, 50K, and a Kid’s Run, weaving through the area’s undisturbed Coastal Mountain Habitat with ocean views. Elevation gains range from about 1,200 feet (10K) to 6,700 feet (50K).

Surfaces are mostly single-track trails and dirt roads. The course is clearly marked with color-coded ribbons and polka-dot flagging at turns, with blue markers showing the wrong way. Fully stocked aid stations appear every 6–7 miles.

The Cupless policy is in place, with Hydrapak SpeedCup available for sale. Drop bags are allowed; finishers receive medals and shirts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
