About
The Folsom Lake Trail Run takes place on the trails southeast of Folsom Lake in Folsom, California, in early May. The course starts at Folsom Point and heads east to Salmon Falls, where runners turn around. Four distances let participants pick a challenge that fits: a 50K (31.1 miles) at 8:00 AM, a 35K (21.7 miles) at 8:15 AM, a half marathon (13.1 miles) at 8:30 AM and a 10K (6.2 miles) at 8:45 AM. The trail is fairly flat but still offers thrills and challenges for those who want to test their fitness. Sun exposure in the Sierra foothills can be strong by May, so carry water and sun protection.
