About the race
Live Oak Odyssey is a fixed-time trail running event at O'Neill Regional Park in Trabuco Canyon, California. The event runs on a loop course and is offered in multiple fixed-time formats.
- 8 Hour
- 6 Hour
- 3 Hour
The course is an approximately 2.75 mile loop with roughly 500 feet of elevation gain per loop. The route combines single track and double track with both uphill and downhill sections and is marked with pink ribbons. The start/finish and main aid station are located at the park headquarters.
The park setting includes coast live oak and sycamore trees, with hillsides of cactus, wild buckwheat, sagebrush and chaparral containing scrub oak, buckthorn and mountain mahogany. One primary aid station at the start/finish provides sweet and salty snacks, PB&J, bean roll-ups, fresh fruit, potatoes, soft drinks, salt pills, and basic fueling products supplied by Precision Fuel & Hydration and anti-chafe salve from Squirrel's Nut Butter. Crews may access the main aid station from their vehicles but must remain at their vehicle while assisting their runner; crews should not eat from aid station tables.
Additional event details include a designated drop bag area near the aid station, a required $5 parking fee payable in exact change, chip timing, gender specific cut race shirts, finisher awards, and custom awards for the top three overall male and female finishers in each event. Participants must complete full loops to have them count; no pacers and no pets are allowed on course. Live split tracking is available for the event.
