Prepare to embark on an exclusive trail racing experience like no other – the Mt. Umunhum Ultras! This event is not just a race; it’s an adventure, a journey through the wonders of nature and the trials of endurance.
As the sun rises and paints the Santa Clara Valley with its golden hues, trail running enthusiasts gather for this extraordinary event. Whether you’re an experienced ultrarunner or someone seeking a taste of the epic adventure, Mt. Umunhum has something special to offer. With a variety of distances and start times, there’s a trail run for everyone, and each promises unforgettable moments in the great outdoors.
The crown jewel of this event is the 52-mile race, a true ultra that will test even the most seasoned runners. With over 15,000 feet of elevation gain, you’ll traverse a landscape of diverse beauty. The course winds through mystical oak forests, endless meadows, and steep climbs. It takes you on a journey through the Santa Clara Valley, Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, and the rugged terrain of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This ultra is not for the faint of heart; it’s for those who dare to dream big, push their limits, and discover their true potential.
For those who crave adventure but prefer a more manageable challenge, the 50K race offers an exciting opportunity to experience the magic of the trail without the extreme distance. This race, too, presents its own set of climbs, descents, and the beauty of nature all around.
The Mt. Umunhum Ultras are more than just races; they are a chance to connect with the essence of trail running and discover the wild beauty of the Santa Clara Valley. The course will lead you through rugged trails, shaded by ancient oak forests, and then through expansive meadows where the sun will warm your journey.

So, whether you’re aiming to conquer the 52-mile ultra or a more manageable distance, Mt. Umunhum Ultras promise an unforgettable day in the great outdoors.
