China Camp Trail Run

China Camp Trail Run takes place at China Camp State Park in San Rafael, California, a site that was once a Chinese settlement supported by shrimp fishing. The park offers a network of trails used by boaters, runners, hikers, and mountain bikers.

The courses follow twisting single-track trails with views of Mount Tam, San Pablo Bay, and San Francisco Bay. Trails climb up and over a peak, wind through thick forest, then descend to more open terrain on the San Pablo Bay side of the park. A notable climb begins about 1.5 miles into the course, and the routes are described as relatively fast; some participants run the slopes while others hike and observe wildlife such as wild turkeys and the ambient sounds of the woods.

Available distances include:

Half Marathon 13 miles
10K 6.4 miles
5K 3.1 miles

The description emphasizes trail character and scenery rather than start details. The event uses the park's existing single-track network and varied terrain to provide running routes that combine forested sections and open bay-side trails.
