The Horseshoe Lake Trail Run is an event held at the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve in La Honda, California. The race routes traverse multiple natural areas, including the Skyline Ridge, Long Ridge, and Russian Ridge Open Space Preserves. Participants navigate a course that primarily follows the Bay Area Ridge Trail, providing views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Cruz Mountains.

This event offers several trail race distances measured with a surveyor's wheel for accuracy:

  • 50K (31.1 miles)
  • Marathon (26.2 miles)
  • 30K
  • Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
  • 5.1 Miles

The registration fees vary by distance. The longest distance offered is the 50K, while the 2 Mile and the Kid's Run are available without a registration fee. The event takes place entirely on trail surfaces within the designated preserve boundaries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
