Sonoma Coast Trail Runs

End: 2026-05-30
Location: Duncans Mills

Duncans Mills, United States • 30 May 2026

Event Overview

The Sonoma Coast Trail Runs are presented by Skybreaker Racing. The runs take place on the trails and fire roads of Sonoma Coast State Park on Northern California's coastline.

Course Details

The courses are located just south of Jenner, Duncans Mills, and the Russian River. They traverse a ridgeline with ocean views, summit Red Hill, and start and finish at Pomo Canyon Environmental Camp, which is among ferns and redwoods. The event will not be held in 2026. The organizer is hopeful to secure a new permit for Monte Rio Redwoods for 2027, which would allow for expanded courses and relocate the start/finish to Monte Rio, eliminating shuttle costs.
