Mendocino Running Festival

Join Us In Mendocino!

Come join us off the Mendocino Coast in Mendocino Woodlands Park, a National Historic Landmark. Experience breathtaking views from the race course trails nestled in this serene Ancient Redwood Forest of Mendocino. The camp is private group camping only, providing a unique and secluded venue for this race and festival. Disconnect to Reconnect!

This is an entire weekend festival devoted to the ultimate outdoor experience!

As in the past, we’re running a looped course through the stunning ancient redwood wilderness and across log bridge crossings over murmuring streams. The festival has many exciting things to offer that brings the best of the running community together! Our Camp is just outside the town of Mendocino, so families/friends who aren’t running have access to all that lovely community has to offer.

Courses and Races
The race course consists of a 6-mile loop from the Big River valley to the top valley’s edge. The loop is mostly single track trail and has 875 feet of climb. We offer 2 aid stations that will not disappoint. We are here to spoil you! You can choose from the two timed formats (6- and 12-hour) or the two distances, 10k and half-marathon. No matter the distance you’ll be in for a treat.
