Welcome to the 2011-2012 XTERRA SoCal Trail Run Series.

All the events feature a shorter run for beginners/sprinters and a longer course for more endurance-oriented athletes. Both series have stops at some of the top trails and mountain ranges in California. Points are awarded for the top finishers in each age group for the longer distance events. At the end of the season, the top point finishers will earn a berth to the National Championships at Snowbasin Resort near Ogden, Utah, on Sept. 25. Check out the schedule below for rest of the 2012 events!

A portion of each event's proceeds goes towards trail maintenance on the trails we run on at California State Parks, San Diego Regional Parks or our National Parks.

Race is this weekend. Please read all the new updates (and check your email for more info). #1 - The race course has been approved. It is a 15k with a 'bonus' climb in the middle (bonus meaning fun and gnarly). The 5k is now a 6k and has a new start time of 9:00am!! Parking/Start Line. We have moved the start to the new parking area within El Moro (just follow the signs). Once this lot gets full, head over to Reef Parking lot (across the street) and walk over to the start.
