Experience the great outdoors and connect with fellow trail runners at Aravaipa's California Race Director Melanie’s free group run. This social gathering invites participants to enjoy a challenging yet enjoyable route through El Moro and Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, located in scenic Newport Beach. The meetup takes place on Saturday, July 25th, starting promptly at 6:30 AM from Coastal Peak Park. Participants should arrive early as parking can become scarce later in the morning. The run will cover approximately 6.5 miles with around 1,000 feet of elevation gain, featuring hilly terrain and steep rocky sections that offer both a physical challenge and breathtaking views. Ideal for those who are comfortable running trails at an 11-minute mile pace and tackling varied terrains, this group run promises to be an invigorating adventure. Each session offers a fresh route, allowing runners to explore new parts of the park while enjoying good company and camaraderie. After completing the run, stick around for complimentary snacks and participate in a raffle drawing with chances to win exciting prizes. Make sure to bring plenty of hydration and some energy-boosting fuel as you navigate through this dynamic course.
