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.
