Holcomb Valley Trail Run

Holcomb Valley Trail Run - Big Bear Peaks and Pines, June 12 to 14, 2026

This event takes place in Big Bear Lake, California, across the Big Bear Peaks and Pines weekend. The 30 year Holcomb Valley Trail Run is scheduled for June 13 and 14, 2026, and the weekend also features a three day TransRockies stage race.

Registration opens January 28, 2026, with early pricing through March 1. Registration closes on June 9. Race and stage entries are subject to the event's stated refund, rollover, transfer, and cancellation policies.

Course planning notes that ongoing US Forest Service permitting may require a change to the legacy Holcomb Valley course on the Pacific Crest Trail. Organizers list course maps for the Vertical Stage and note that Saturday and Sunday maps are coming soon. Elevation gain and loss for the courses are given as follows:

• Vertical Stage Full: +1,300 ft / -1,300 ft
• Vertical Stage Half: +700 ft / -700 ft
• 33 mile: +4,400 ft / -4,400 ft
• 15 mile: +1,950 ft / -1,950 ft
• 9 mile: +1,100 ft / -1,100 ft
• 5 mile: +560 ft / -560 ft

The 33 mile race has a 10 hour time limit. Hikers are explicitly welcome on the 15, 9, and 5 mile courses. Cancellation or route changes may occur for reasons including fire, air quality, weather, wildlife, or other public safety concerns with no guaranteed reimbursement.

The trails run through the ancestral lands of the Serrano people, the Yuhaviatam, and the event notes respect for that history. The Holcomb Valley Trail Run was established in 1997, transitioned to Team Big Bear in 2012, and from 2023 is managed by Team Kodiak. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
