Yuba Gold

Nevada City, United States • 5 Oct 2025

Yuba Gold Trail Runs take place near Nevada City, California, in the scenic gold country region. The event offers multiple distances including a 50K, 35K, and half marathon, all featuring beautiful views of the South Fork Yuba River and the historic Malakoff Diggins hydraulic mining site. 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.
