Santa Cruz Run

Felton, United States • 23 Aug 2025

Inside Trail’s Santa Cruz Trail Run takes place at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton, California, offering three distances: 10K, Half Marathon, and 30K. The course winds through towering redwoods on twisty single-track, with occasional dirt fire roads and a sandy ridge, while ocean breezes flow inland from the coast. Runners encounter river crossings and ridge climbs, with aid stations roughly every 5–6 miles. Poles are permitted, and the event is cupless, encouraging runners to carry their own water. The race is chip-timed, features post-race snacks, and is family-friendly, with parking in the park and no dogs allowed inside. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
