About
San Lorenzo River Trail Run is held on July 10, 2027, in Santa Cruz, California, through coastal redwood forest, canyons and meadows along the San Lorenzo river. The 50K (31.1 mi), the marathon (26.2 mi), the 30K (18.6 mi) and the half marathon (13.1 mi) start at 8:00 a.m., and the 10K at 8:15 a.m.
Redwood forest is the best possible surface for a summer trail race: soft underfoot, deeply shaded and ten degrees cooler than the open ground around it. The trade-off is footing — roots and needles hide the trail's texture, so look several steps ahead and pick shoes with grip rather than cushioning.
