Set for Saturday, November 1, 2025, at East Walker Ranch Open Space in Placerita Canyon (Santa Clarita, CA), the Santa Clarita Trail Race offers four trail distance options: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a challenging 28K.
As one of the region’s newest trail events from New Global Adventures—the same team behind the Valencia and Spacerock trail races—the Santa Clarita Trail Race boasts scenic single-track paths, steady climbs and descents, and views across the Santa Clarita Valley.
All races start at 7:00 AM PDT, with bib pickup available early the morning of the event (check-in begins at 6:00 AM) and an optional packet pickup the previous day. The course design uses two loops and out-and-back segments, clearly signed via color-coded flags—entry options include:
- 5K (650 ft elevation gain)
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- 28K with over 3,000 ft of climbing
Support stations (up to six) provide water, electrolytes, fruit, and ice; it’s a cupless event, so participants should bring their own bottle or cup. Aid and trail support are praised for their care and quality .
All finishers receive a tech shirt, finisher medal, downloadable certificate, and post-race refreshments (including a beer for participants over 21). Race-day photos are free, and age-group prizes honor top finishers.
