Organized by Troy’s California Trail Runs, the Fall edition is a compact, family-friendly trail festival centered inside the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park — the very site where the 1848 Gold Rush began. Runners can choose from a 1-mile Kids Run up to a Half Marathon (plus 5K/10K/15K options), with staggered morning start times and well-marked laps on varied single-track and short paved connectors. Expect moderately technical terrain with switchbacks and rolling climbs along the south fork of the American River, plus scenic viewpoints and abundant wildlife. The event is rain-or-shine and aimed at trail runners looking for a historic, close-to-home Sierra-foothills experience.
