Organized by Troy’s California Trail Runs, the winter edition is a one-day trail festival inside Almaden Quicksilver County Park that suits everyone from families (Kids Run/short options) to ultra-runners tackling the 50K. Races are well-marked (ribbons/signage) with aid stations on the longer distances, morning staggered starts, and course maps/GPX posted on the race/UltraSignup pages. Expect a hilly, technical Bay-Area trail experience—mostly dirt single-track and old mining/fire roads—with panoramic views of the South Bay and a proper elevation workout rather than a flat stroll.
