Signal Peak Trail Runs
The Signal Peak Trail Runs take place in Emigrant Gap, California, with the start and finish located at the Bear Valley PG&E Group Campground off Bowman Lake Road. The event offers participants the opportunity to navigate a course through natural terrain with significant vertical gain.
The event features two primary distances:
- 50K
- 24M (24 miles)
The 24M course involves approximately 3,300 feet of elevation gain. To ensure participant safety and support, multiple aid stations are positioned along the route, including Fuller Aid, Eagle Lakes Water Station, and Fordyce Aid. These stations are stocked with water, electrolytes, sodas, energy gels, salt, and various snacks. A cumulative cutoff time of 6:00 pm applies to both distances, with an additional intermediate cutoff at the final aid station for the 24M distance.
This is a cupless event, and individuals are required to carry their own reusable cup or water bottle. The course is marked by the organizers; however, runners are encouraged to download GPS course maps in advance. Upon reaching the finish line, participants receive a meal, with vegan options available. Awards are presented to the first through third place male and female finishers for each distance. Participants may also receive custom event swag and finisher medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
