Yuba Gold Trail Runs
Nevada City, United States • 5 Oct 2025
Yuba Gold Trail Runs takes place near Nevada City, California, in gold country. The event offers 50K, 35K, and Half Marathon distances along a historic route with views of the South Fork Yuba River and the Malakoff Diggins site. It’s an Independent P2P (DIY/self-guided) adventure rather than a traditional timed race: runners complete the original 50K point-to-point from South Yuba Campground to Bear Valley, starting/finishing at North Bloomfield, Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park.
Runners may go solo or with friends, submit GPS results online for a finisher award and ranking, and receive a medal plus finisher shirt. All-distance must finish by 5:00 pm; maps are advised due to past sabotage. Permit risk may affect refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
