That's No Moon Trail Races

That's No Moon Trail Races guides runners over rough, remote forest roads in the Cleveland National Forest near Silverado, California. Starting from Black Star Canyon Road in the Santa Ana Mountains, the event provides 50 Mile, 50K, and 30K distances. All options are on unpaved trail or forest-road surfaces and involve significant climbing. The course begins at approximately 885 feet and ascends to a high point of about 5,075 feet, meaning even the shortest race challenges runners with exposed ridgelines and extended ascents. This is a straightforward Southern California trail event for runners accustomed to remote terrain, uneven footing, steep drop-offs, wildlife, and potentially variable weather. Aid stations are staffed, with support ranging from full service to water only. Longer races feature drop bag access, and some aid stations have radio communication. Established in 2019, the event is noted for its affordability among Southern California ultras. Resources are directed towards essential provisions: water, electrolytes, soda, snacks, at least one aid station with hot food, and hot food at the finish line.
