Pinecrest Run

The Pinecrest Run is an annual running event held in Pinecrest, California, set in the scenic Sierra Nevada mountains. Celebrating its 49th year in 2025, the event features a 5-mile recreational run that winds through the roads of Pinecrest and along the shores of Pinecrest Lake, as well as a shorter 1-mile fun run on pavement. The race offers a friendly and community-focused atmosphere and serves as a fundraiser for the local Pinecrest Expedition Academy, a private school. Pets are not allowed, and participants can enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings while supporting a local cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
