Pinecrest Run

The Pinecrest Run is an annual running event held in Pinecrest, California, set in the scenic Sierra Nevada mountains near Pinecrest Lake. Celebrating its 49th year in 2025, the event features a 5-mile recreational run that winds through the roads of Pinecrest and along the lake's shores, as well as a shorter 1-mile fun run on pavement. The race offers a friendly, community-focused atmosphere and serves as a fundraiser for the local Pinecrest Expedition Academy.

Pets are not allowed, and participants can enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings while supporting a local cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
