Valley Crest Trails - July 12, 2026

Valley Crest Trails takes place in Los Angeles (Tarzana), CA at 3600 Reseda Blvd. The event offers multiple trail distances on the Dirt Mulholland fire road along a ridgeline with wide open views, including the Nike Missile Site overlook and vistas across the San Fernando Valley and toward the Pacific Ocean.

Distances:

  • Half Marathon
  • Half Marathon Relay (teams of two, each roughly 6.5 miles)
  • 10K
  • 5K

The course is a runnable fire road with rolling terrain, steady climbs, and a fast but demanding downhill finish. It is largely exposed with very limited shade, and mid-July summer conditions are likely to be hot and dry. The event provides an official race shirt and a finisher medal for every participant.

Relay details include a mid-course exchange point on Dirt Mulholland and a field limited to 25 teams. The course will be marked and volunteers will be present; runners are expected to carry necessary supplies and pace according to conditions. The organizing group notes potential modifications, postponement, or cancellation for extreme weather, wildfire risk, air quality, permit restrictions, or other safety concerns. All registrations are final under the event's stated no refund, no bib transfer, and no deferral policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
