Yuba Gold

Nevada City, United States • 5 Oct 2025

The Yuba Gold Trail Runs take place near Nevada City, California, in the scenic gold country region.

The start and finish are located at North Bloomfield within Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park.

The course is well marked, though runners are advised to download the course map due to past marking sabotage.
