HOKA Pacific Trails California by UTMB
HOKA Pacific Trails California by UTMB is a trail event held at Rancho San Fernando Rey in the Santa Ynez Valley. The courses run across preserved ranchland featuring mountains, pastures, cliffs, vineyards, olive groves, and endemic Blue Oak Trees. Trails include creek and river crossings and areas of serpentine, California’s state rock.
The ranch is a private, 30,000-acre property with over 100 miles of roads and trails. The Santa Ynez River crosses the property and Loma Alta Mountain (2,758 ft / 840 m) sits near the centre, offering views toward Cachuma Lake and surrounding valleys. The Start/Finish line and BASECAMP (Expo) are located in a rustic cattle-ranch open barn surrounded by oak trees.
Two race distances are offered, each with published elevation gains and race-category details. The courses traverse the Santa Ynez Valley, a landscape that has been the ancestral home of the Chumash Tribe for thousands of years. The event provides access to a property that was previously closed to the public.
UTMB Community Bibs are associated with the event. These bibs are part of The IRONMAN Foundation and direct a share of bib proceeds to local community organisations and trail stewardship programs; half of the registration-based contribution is allocated to a local charity selected by the race team.
