Crystal Cove Trail Run
The Crystal Cove Trail Run takes place at Crystal Cove State Park, El Moro, in Laguna Beach on Saturday, December 12, 2026. The event uses coastal trails located minutes from the beach and offers multiple course options with varied terrain.
Both main distances use fire road climbs, ridgeline descents and single track. The longer course includes technical sections named the Rock Garden, Elevator and the Wall. A separate kids course follows a shorter loop close to the start area and is described as a fast route.

All aid stations are stocked with Skratch Labs hydration. Finisher medal and race shirts are included with same day results. The 15k carries a $2,000 prize purse and age group awards are given.
