Yosemite Trail Races

The Yosemite Trail Races offer three trail distances that traverse the Sierra National Forest outside Yosemite National Park and finish at Bass Lake, California. Courses pass through areas with giant sequoias, summit granite plutons, provide expansive valley views, and include river crossings. The route surface is a mix of forest service roads, rocky single track, and large granite slabs.

Distances:

  • Yosemite 50 Mile
  • Yosemite 50K
  • Yosemite Trail Half

The course layout features substantial climbing followed by extended downhill sections near the finish. Support along the routes includes stocked aid stations. Race logistics note a shuttle to the start is provided and all distances share the same start and finish location at Bass Lake.

Included race items and services listed by the organizer are race swag, a finisher medal, stocked aid stations, and generous cutoff times. The event is organized by Milestone Events and takes place in Bass Lake, CA, USA. Additional location context indicates Bass Lake sits near the south entrance of Yosemite National Park and is several hours by road from major airports in the region.
