Whiskey Hill Redwood Run

While the wild west days of lumbering and moonshining are gone, you can still run the old roads and trails the teamsters and bullwhackers once used to haul their loads out of the redwood forests. During this bygone era, Whiskey Hill in Woodside, CA really lived up to its name offering strong local brews to loggers and travelers while “taking tea” during their commute up and over the Santa Cruz Mountains. You won’t be served any shine during this run but we will provide you with all the necessary favorites among the trail running community.

The BayTrailrunners Whiskey Hill Redwood Run is a competitive 10K, Half Marathon and 50K trail race open to all levels of runners. It will be run through the lush redwood forests of Huddart Park in Woodside, CA, and is mostly non-technical with moderate climbs. Experts can use this race to measure their progress while first time racers looking for a new challenge will find this to be an excellent starting point to their trail racing adventures. At the finish, hang around and join us for cold beverages and snacks.

Aid will be provided at the start, on course and at the finish. Expect fruit, carbs, sweets, gels, electrolytes and water. While not required, we strongly recommend that all runners carry some form of hydration pack or water bottle throughout the race.

50K runners must reach their return pass through King’s Mountain Aid Station by 4:00PM. That is 7 hours for 50k runners to cover 24 miles. If you don’t meet these times, you will be considered a “Did Not Finish” and we will happily drive you back to the finish. This is done to ensure that we respect and honor the rules of the San Mateo County Parks closing times.
