Trail Run at Sly Park - Fall

The event takes place on Saturday, October 23, 2027 at the Sly Park Recreation Area Event Center, 4771 Sly Park Rd., Pollock Pines, CA. The course uses trails around Jenkinson Lake and runs through pine forest and horse trails.

Distances offered:

  • 5K

  • 8 Mile
  • Half Marathon
  • 17 Mile
  • Trail Marathon
  • 50K Relays are offered for 13.1, 17 mile, trail marathon, and 50K distances with teams of 2 to 4 runners depending on distance.

Course and on-course services are described as rolling single track around the lake with shade, some technical sections, and rolling hills without steep altitude gains. Two aid stations are placed at opposite ends of the lake; races longer than 10K reach these stations at least once. Drop bag pickup at the start and delivery to aid stations is available. Water stops and additional aid are provided on upper loops for longer distances.

Facilities include restrooms at the event center and in campground areas, water fountains along campgrounds, and food service at the event center including cold ice cream and warm food options. Parking at the event center is free but limited; additional paid day use and roadside parking areas are listed with varying distances to the event center.

All finishers receive a medal. Entry fees are non refundable though transfers or credits may be arranged with the organizer before race day. Relay teams must sign waivers and may exchange runners only at the event center; one bib is allocated to the starting runner and subsequent team members use the same bib number for tracking.
