Choose how much you want to play. It may be as simple as just purchasing a race day entry, or as much as 2-3 Nights of camping, running, and exploring with the trail running community.

Come run the ancient trails of the Pomo people. You will go back in time as you witness the wonder of rugged coastline, sandstone cliffs, kelp-dotted coves, tide pools, pygmy forests and panoramic views. Summertime running along the coast normally makes for favorable weather for a fast run. These pristine and historic trails should be on every trail runner and ultra-marathoner's bucket list.

Come camp with the trail running community and the team at Pacific Coast Trail Runs including your Race Directors, Greg & Jennifer Lanctot and new PCTR partner, Chef Yaku Moton-Spruill, wife Judith and kids Angel and Brooklyn.

Special thanks to our local running store hosts and partner Healdsburg Running Company - America's Winiest Running Store.
