Horseshoe Lake Half Marathon

La Honda, United States • 22 Mar 2026

Horseshoe Lake Half Marathon

The Horseshoe Lake event is a half marathon held on March 22, 2026 in La Honda, California, within the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. The course offers views of both the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay and combines varied trail types.

Runners follow a mix of single-track and fireroad through covered woods and open hillsides. The route accumulates approximately 2230' of ascent with rolling hills; organizers describe the course as a runners' course in which the hills are relatively gentle and runnable, and they note that fast times are expected.

All proceeds from the race benefit the medical aid programs of The Hatuey Project. The entry fee is matched by the race director, resulting in a doubled contribution to that charity. Registration for the event closes on Saturday, March 21 at 11:59 PM PT.

The description above summarizes course terrain, elevation, location, and charitable purpose as provided by the event information. It does not include start or finish times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
