Trail Running at Lake Chabot Regional Park

The Lake Chabot Trail Run takes place in Castro Valley, California, with the course starting at the Lake Chabot Regional Park Marina. The routes travel around the reservoir and throughout the surrounding hills. Participants run on trails measured for accuracy using a surveyor's measuring wheel.

The event offers several distances to accommodate different preferences:

  • 50K trail race
  • Marathon (26.2 miles) trail race
  • 30K trail race
  • Half Marathon (13.1 miles) trail race
  • 8K (4.8 miles) trail race
  • 5K (3.1 miles) road race
  • 2 miles road race
  • 50 yard dash for children aged 6 and younger

The 50 yard dash for children is a free event. Registration for the various distances opens in late 2025 and closes approximately one week before the event date, though registration for the shorter 2 mile race and the children's dash remains open until the day of the event. The course is designed to be accessible for those participating in a trail race for the first time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
