Chino Hills Trail Run Series Fall

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Southern California at the Chino Hills Trail Run, scheduled for November 14, 2026. This event offers runners two trail routes through stunning natural landscapes: a challenging 50K and an equally scenic but slightly shorter 30K option.
The race begins early on Saturday morning with the first wave of participants setting off at 6:30am for the longer distance, followed by the 7:00am start time for those tackling the 30K route. Race day check-ins are available from 5:30am to 6:00am respectively.
Runners can also choose early bib pickup on Friday between 3:00pm and 7:00pm at Snail's Pace Running Shop in Brea, where they'll find a selection of race essentials and receive $10 off any purchase over $30 when showing their bib. Ultra-running experts will be present to help runners select the right hydration, nutrition, and apparel for their needs.
The event takes place within Chino Hills State Park, accessible via Lambert Road or Carbon Canyon Regional Park. Race day parking is available at a cost of $10 in the Discovery Center lot; however, overflow parking options include nearby Carbon Canyon Regional Park ($5 entry fee) and Olinda Ranch Park (free but requires an additional 1-mile walk to reach the start).
Aid stations are strategically placed along both routes to provide water and snacks. The Telegraph Canyon/Little Canyon station offers essential supplies at key intervals for both distances, while the Bane Canyon drop bag area allows runners to store gear during their journey.
For those participating in the longer 50K route, there is a strict cutoff time of 4:30pm at the finish line. Intermediate checkpoints ensure that all participants remain on track with deadlines set at Bane Canyon (1:00pm) and Four Corners (2:00pm).
Join fellow trail runners as you navigate through picturesque hillsides, chaparral, and oak woodlands. This event is more than a race; it's an experience that celebrates the spirit of adventure and community among long-distance enthusiasts.
Registration for this event has closed online but remains open on-site starting at 5:30am on November 14th in Brea or at Snail's Pace Running Shop before then. Don't miss out on a chance to explore Southern California’s natural beauty through the lens of trail running.
Enjoy the breathtaking views and challenging terrain as you embark on this unforgettable fall adventure!
