Fleet Feet Fall Classic - Trail 2026

The Fleet Feet Fall Classic - Trail offers two trail races in Upper Bidwell Park, Chico, California. Both start near the South Rim Trail Head, behind Bidwell Golf Course, on the south side of the park via Annies Trail. Participants can select a half marathon or a 4-mile endurance challenge. The half marathon route follows the rock wall off Centennial and South Rim, ascending 1,600 feet in the initial half before descending towards the finish. The half marathon course features a creek crossing, an aid station at 10 Mile House, and concludes through Yahi and the golf course. To be eligible for awards, runners must have their bib stamped at two checkpoints: 10 Mile House and the Ecological Preserve, located around mile 7.75. The 4-mile event is structured as a backyard-style challenge. Runners begin a new loop at the top of each hour, continuing only if they complete the prior loop within 60 minutes. They can participate for up to eight hours. Every second loop reverses direction, and the last hour is a direct foot race to the finish.
