Welcome to the 11th annual Big Pine Trail Runs at Fort Tuthill County Park! Runners will get to experience both the Soldiers Trail and Highlands Trail Loop which winds through the ponderosa pines above 7,000 ft,  eventually topping out on a mesa with expansive views of mountain landscapes before being enveloped back into the trees. The trail ranges from narrow single track to wide well-maintained forest paths. The course is well graded for beginners while allowing the more experienced runner to stretch their legs and gun for a fast time while still maintaining the challenge of being at a higher elevation.

The shorter distances are designed as a loop race with the 27 Km doing two full circuits (27 Km = 2 loops / 13 Km = 1 loop) on some fantastic single track throughout the Fort Tuthill Park.

Aid stations every 4.0 to 4.4 miles including water, electrolyte drink (Gnarly Fuel-2O), sweet snacks, salty snacks, and fruit. As it can get hot and you’ll be running at elevation, please plan to run with at least one bottle of water.

Pacers are allowed for final loop of the 50K. No pacers allowed for any other distances.

Crews are allowed at the start/finish area only. 

A drop bag will be allowed at the start/finish area and will be available to runners on each loop.

The cutoff for all races is 5 PM, allowing a total of 10 hours to complete the course.

53 KM runners should be through Sinclair Aid II (mile 17) by 12pm, 5 hours into the race.
