Participants must carefully review the REFUND POLICY during registration, as it includes coverage for various unforeseen circumstances such as injury or illness, severe weather, mechanical breakdowns, layoffs or terminations, pregnancy complications, and more. This ensures peace of mind should any unexpected events arise that may impact your participation.
In 2024, the race faced some of its toughest conditions yet at Clint Eastwood venue. The event was hit with relentless, sporadic rain from start to finish, combined with unusually cold temperatures—conditions making it one of the most challenging races ever held there. Despite these harsh circumstances, Narcisa Finnila emerged victorious and set a new standard for female runners.
Finnila's impressive 43-hour time not only secured her first overall win but also marked her third consecutive triumph in this event series. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given that it surpasses the previous best times from the inaugural three years, which were won by Kevin Muller (twice) and Ryan Crawford.
Narcisa’s performance showcased remarkable resilience as she navigated deteriorating track conditions throughout Saturday night into Sunday morning. Her determination was evident in her ability to maintain a strong pace among the last 16 runners who managed to reach the 24-hour mark together, demonstrating the unity and perseverance of all participants.
While Narcisa had set her sights on breaking the 52-hour barrier, she ultimately left with questions about how far she might have gone. The race always leaves athletes wondering what more they could achieve under similar conditions.
Mark your calendars for next year’s event in 2026 as we look forward to another thrilling edition of Trail to Triumph!
