Montara Mountain Trail Run 2027

The Montara Mountain Trail Run is a February trail-running series held in San Pedro Valley Park, Pacifica, California. The main races begin in the morning, offering runners a selection of distances: 10K, half marathon, 20.7 miles, marathon, and 50K. A free 50-yard dash is available for children aged six and under, alongside a free Coastal Testing event that starts before the main races. The course ascends Montara Mountain, an area noted by the race organizers as the sole undisturbed coastal mountain habitat along over 100 miles of coastline. Participants will run past huckleberry, honeysuckle, lilac, chinquapin, and manzanita groves, with views of the Pacific Coast appearing as they climb. The event likely attracts a diverse field because of the range of distances from a short trail race to an ultramarathon, and the kids' dash encourages families to attend before the longer races commence.
