Elder Creek Night Runs

Anza, United States • 25 Jul 2026

Elder Creek Night Runs takes place in Anza, California, on land belonging to the Cahuilla Band of Indians. The centerpiece is a 4.6-mile loop of single-track trails and wide dirt roads through manzanita and rock formations, with views of Cahuilla Mountain. Runners choose from four distances: 9 miles (2 loops), 13 miles (3 loops), 30K (4 loops), and 50K (7 loops). Aid stations appear after every loop, and racers pass their parked cars along the way. The race atmosphere combines a desert sunset and a star-filled, full-moon night run, with a cap of about 200 participants and a race guide available.
