Organized by Troy’s California Trail Runs, this festive holiday race uses the El Dorado Trail through historic Placerville and suits everyone from families to serious trail runners. Runners will find shaded sections, gentle rollers and picturesque oak-lined corridors on a mostly paved/multi-use trail that still feels “trail-ish” in places. The event is family-friendly (strollers are explicitly allowed in the 5K, 10K and 15K) and runs rain or shine, with a kids/mile option to keep younger participants involved.
