Live Oak Odyssey

Live Oak Odyssey is a fixed-time trail running event at O'Neill Regional Park in Trabuco Canyon, California. The event offers multiple timed options on a repeated loop course.

• 8 Hour fixed-time trail run
• 6 Hour fixed-time trail run
• 3 Hour fixed-time trail run

The course uses an approximately 2.75 mile loop with about 500 feet of vertical gain per loop. Trails include single track and double track with uphill and downhill sections. The park is heavily wooded with coast live oak and sycamore trees, and surrounding hillsides feature cactus, wild buckwheat, sagebrush and chaparral including scrub oak, buckthorn and mountain mahogany. The loop is marked with pink ribbons and follows Arroyo Trabuco Trail to a paved road, continues on Live Oak Trail for about 1.3 miles, then onto Coyote Canyon Trail and Coyote Trail back to the start.

There is one major aid station at the start/finish offering a variety of sweet and salty snacks, PB&J, bean roll-ups, fresh fruit, potatoes, cola, ginger ale, Mountain Dew, salt pills, and other items. Chews and gels are provided by Precision Fuel & Hydration and anti-chafe salve is provided by Squirrel's Nut Butter. Crews may use the main aid station area but must remain at their vehicle and may not eat from aid station tables. A designated tent is available for drop bags near the aid station.

Parking at the park requires a $5 fee in exact change; OC Parks passes are not valid. Participants must complete full loops for them to count. No pacers and no pets are allowed on course. Camping is available onsite by reservation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
