Welcome to Troy’s California Trail Runs website. Our mission is to provide some of the most scenic, challenging, and fun runs in California. We want to provide an environment that is both safe and enjoyable. We are a patriotic and green company. We believe in a clean environment and want all of our participants to be responsible when it comes to keeping all of our trails pristine and litter free.
We are a family oriented organization. Our runs will be setup for every age group. Some runs will be designed only for adults and others we would like to have just for children. However, everyone is invited to participate. We will have runs for beginners, intermediate runners and finally the hard core advanced Ultra-Runner.
We will have different distances from 3 to 100 miles. Pre-Registered runners will receive a shirt with the TCTR logo and the name of the run in which they participate. Each course will be planned and well marked to keep runners on course. Aid stations will always be provided in necessary locations.
Race Day registration is available.
