About the race
The Mendocino Coast 50K is an ultra trail run on Northern California’s Mendocino Coast. The course starts at Big River State Beach in Mendocino, California and follows natural trail sections that combine coastal and forest terrain.
The route features river crossings and coastal running with ocean views, stretches through redwood groves, and includes at least one waterfall section. Photographs and course notes highlight Big River, the Mendocino headlands and peninsula, and mixed surfaces typical of coastal trails. The event is presented as a 50 kilometer trail ultramarathon rather than a road race.
Information posted with the event includes recent annual editions and course images, and the organizer provides details about race logistics on the event pages. The description focuses on observable course characteristics: varied coastal topography, sea and river exposure, and redwood forest segments. Runners should expect a trail environment that alternates between beach, riverside, wooded singletrack and coastal viewpoints. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
