Back On The Ranch Trail Run 2026

Back On The Ranch Trail Run is part of a California Central Coast trail-running series, scheduled for October. This series includes straightforward trail races and long ultra formats, catering to runners who prefer dirt, hills, camping-style race weekends, and events with a local, outdoor feel over polished road races. The broader calendar showcases the series' personality: Born to Run features 10-mile, 20-mile, 30-mile, 100-mile, and multi-day options. Tierra Redonda Mountain Trail Run and Camp offers 10km, 20km, 24-hour, and 48-hour formats. Other events extend beyond standard running, such as a 10-mile Run and Raft Adventure Day with whitewater rafting, and Ride and Tie and Equathon races that combine horse and runner divisions over 9-to-21-mile courses. The series also extends to Auburn State Recreation Area, where the Coolest 10km utilizes the Olmsted Loop Trail.
