About the race

Rancho Ramble Trail Run takes place at Santa Margarita Ranch in California on November 8, 2026. The event offers three trail distances and is part of a Spartan OCR festival weekend.

The course runs through Central Coast scenery with rolling grassy hills, wide open cow pastures, and oak-lined arroyos. Terrain is soft and hilly; many slopes are deceptively steep and long, footing can be uncertain, and the route frequently changes underfoot. Local vineyards grow grapes on parts of the course, and local wine is available for sampling after the race.

Practical details: the event season is autumn, average temperature is about 12ºC / 53ºF, and average altitude is 71 meters / 233 feet. The nearest airport is listed as TBA. Mandatory equipment for runners is none.

Volunteer opportunities are available; volunteers can earn race credits and receive merchandise for assisting before, during, or after the event. Registration for the 2026 race is open. A separate Rancho Ramble race is scheduled for October 31, 2027, at the same venue with its own registration and details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
