Rancho Hills Trail Run - Summer

Rancho Hills Trail Run - Summer is held on July 3, 2027, in Morgan Hill, California. Six distances all start at 8:00 a.m.: a 50K (31.1 mi), a trail marathon (26.2 mi), a 30K (18.6 mi), the half marathon (13.1 mi), a ten-miler (16.1 km) and an eight-miler (12.9 km), on steep hill country.

A common start for six distances means everyone shares the first climb, and the field sorts itself out slowly — take the opening mile at your own pace rather than the one around you. Inland northern California in July is hot by ten in the morning with little shade on exposed hillsides, so the longer distances are effectively heat races: carry fluid between stations.
