Whiskey Hill Redwood Run Woodside, CA   Nov 7, 2021

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.
