Saddle2Surf 2026

Saddle2Surf takes runners from Norco, California, known as Horsetown USA, to Huntington Beach, known as Surf City USA. The primary event is a 50-mile ultramarathon, with a 50K option available, and both distances can also be completed as relays. The event is categorized as trail running, with the 50-mile race starting at 7 a.m. and the 50K starting at 9 a.m. The point-to-point course crosses Southern California, beginning at 2191 Fifth Street in Norco and concluding at the coast in Huntington Beach. Individual runners and relay teams have the same distance options, and each race has a 12-hour time limit. The event's name reflects its course: it begins in a town associated with horses and finishes at the beach.
