Rodeo Valley Trail Run
The Rodeo Valley Trail Run takes place on August 1, 2026 in the Marin Headlands near Sausalito, California. The event offers four distances: an 8K, half marathon, 30K and 50K that traverse coastal single track and fire roads around Fort Cronkhite and Rodeo Beach. Runners encounter steep climbs and sustained downhill sections with ocean views and occasional sights of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The course is mostly non technical dirt trails and fire roads. Courses are marked with colored ribbon placed approximately every 200 meters, with additional signs and flour arrows at complicated intersections. Blue ribbons indicate wrong way routes and should not be followed. Hiking poles are permitted.
Chip timing is used with disposable chips attached to the back of each bib. Aid stations provide a variety of energy foods and beverages; Gu gels will not be available at aid stations located on Golden Gate National Recreation Area property, specifically Conzelman and Tennessee Valley. The event is cupless so runners must carry their own water bottle or reusable cup; reusable cups will be sold at the event for five dollars. Drop bag services are not provided.
The race capacity is 350 runners across all distances. There is an 8.5 hour time limit for the 50K and 30K races. Wildlife in the Headlands includes foxes, coyotes and bobcats with rare mountain lion sightings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
