Elder Creek Night Runs
Elder Creek Night Runs is a set of night trail events on July 17, 2027 in Anza, CA, organized by Grassroots Trail Racing. Registration opens January 1, 2027. Entry is limited to 225 runners. The event is planned to take place under a full moon on land permitted by the Cahuilla Band of Indians.
The course uses a 4.6 mile loop that mixes single track and wide dirt road through manzanita stands and rock formations, with views of Cahuilla Mountain. Runners pass an aid station after every loop, and participants have the option to access a nearby vehicle for self-crewing. Loop counts by distance are:
- 50 K
- 30 K
- 13 Miler
- 9 Miler
- 9 Hour
- TEAM 9 Hour Relay
- 6 Hour
Course maps and a race guide are available from the event organizers. The race format requires completing multiple loops: the 9 Miler is two loops, the half marathon is three loops, the 30K is four loops, and the 50K is seven loops. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
