Santa Cruz Island Eco Extreme Trail Race (21K) Ventura, CA   Nov 2, 2024

The 13.1 extreme Eco-Trail run on Santa Cruz Island is a Wilderness run from sea level @ Santa Cruz Island’s Prisoners Cove, up through the island highlands, peaks, valleys and mountains, then Shamrock style looping back to Prisoner’s Cove. This course offers the best of the National Park. The number of entries are highly regulated by the National Park Service. Those that have run before have hailed it as the most unique wilderness run in the Pacific. The private Island Packers boat ride out and back is a blast, we see so many whales and dolphins. This run is not suitable for trail walkers or first time runners. It is a challenging extreme run with a wilderness setting. There are areas of steep single track that have to be walked even by the best. There is a great complimentary after party lunch on the island. Past runners overwhelming tell us this is the most remote and scenic run available on the west coast of the USA.

This is a full non-profit event and your entry helps our Sheriff’s Volunteer Search and Rescue Unit and also vulnerable Ventura County youth by supporting our Sheriff’s Department Safe Passage youth centers while promoting community health and fitness.
