Event Overview

The Penn Valley Daffodil Race is a community running event in Penn Valley, California, scheduled for April 12, 2026. It includes a 10 km run among other distances.

Course Description

The 10 km route begins similarly to the 5 km, traveling through the town of Penn Valley and across green rolling hills on country roads. It takes a detour through Western Gateway Park before heading to a park and ride area. On the return, the course turns right and weaves through the rural countryside before finishing.

Scenery and Atmosphere

Penn Valley is known for its daffodils and green grass, which may be visible in April. Cooler temperatures are typical for this month. The Penn Valley Chamber serves a pancake breakfast for a small cost, and the Penn Valley Lions act as course marshals. Sierra TrailBlazers organizes the event, handling entries, bibs, t-shirts, and awards.

Additional Details

Entries are limited. The registration price for the 10 km increases after March 12, 2026. The race has been a long-standing event for the Nevada County community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
