Cinderella Trail Run

The Cinderella Trail Run takes place in Oakland, California, within the grounds of Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park. The event utilizes a variety of established paths, including the Sequoia-Bayview and French trails, which lead participants through groves of tall redwood trees. The final section of the course descends toward the finish line via the Cinderella trail, a section noted for its technical terrain.

Course distances for the event are verified using a surveyor's measuring wheel to ensure accuracy. The event offers several different distances to accommodate various preferences:

50K trail race
Marathon (26.2 Miles) trail race
30K trail race
Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) trail race
8K trail race
2 Miles coastal testing run

The event is held at 3594 Sanborn Drive in Oakland. Registration for the diverse race categories opens several months in advance. Participants navigate a landscape defined by forested paths and technical downhill sections. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
