Wildwood Canyon Trail Run

About the Event

The Wildwood Canyon Trail Run returns to Yucaipa, California on October 24th, offering runners an unparalleled adventure through the scenic trails of Wildwood Canyon State Park. This year marks the second iteration of this challenging event, which takes place along a rugged yet rewarding course that winds through canyons and oak-studded hillsides within the park's expansive grounds at 12241 Canyon Dr., Yucaipa, CA 92399.
On race morning, participants will gather in Wildwood Canyon State Park to begin their journey. The start time is set for 8:00 a.m., and runners can expect cool temperatures with an average of around 19.7°C (67.5°F). With the sun shining brightly at this hour, the park's natural beauty will be on full display as competitors navigate through sweeping meadows and rugged terrain. The race atmosphere is vibrant, featuring multiple vendors and a live Bluegrass Band performing from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m., adding to the festive mood before the start.
The Wildwood Canyon Trail Run has quickly become an essential event for runners in Yucaipa, combining scenic beauty with athletic challenge. In its second year, it continues to attract both seasoned trail runners and newcomers eager to test their skills on challenging terrain. The race raises funds that support local environmental conservation efforts within the park itself, making each step taken not just a personal achievement but also an investment in preserving natural spaces for future generations.
The Wildwood Canyon Trail Run unfolds along a 3.7-mile loop with significant elevation changes of nearly 600 feet per lap. The course is marked by rolling climbs and steep descents, providing runners ample opportunity to experience the diverse landscapes within the park's boundaries. A key feature includes an aid station at both the start/finish line as well as a water stop situated at the highest point on the loop, ensuring participants remain hydrated throughout their journey.
Weather conditions are typically moderate in early October with temperatures ranging from 13.1°C to 26.2°C (55°F -79°F), and an average wind speed of around 5.5 km/h. The trail remains firm but slightly soft underfoot, ideal for running without the risk of excessive mud or slippery conditions. Rainfall is minimal at only about half a millimeter on race day, making it unlikely to affect performance significantly.
