Oakland Hills Trail Run

The Oakland Hills Trail Run, held at Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, CA, offers challenging trail races in three distances: 10K, half marathon, and 35K ultramarathon. Set in a serene redwood forest with towering 150-foot coast redwoods, the course features technical dirt trails and fire roads with significant elevation gains (up to 4,550 feet for the 35K). The park’s diverse ecosystem includes evergreens, chaparral, and grasslands, home to wildlife like golden eagles and deer.

The event is professionally chip-timed, cupless to reduce waste, and supported by well-stocked aid stations. It accommodates around 330 runners, providing a scenic yet demanding trail running experience near downtown Oakland. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
