San Jose Trail Challenge at Sanborn County Park
The event takes place in Sanborn County Park near Saratoga, California, on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The park contains giant coastal redwood groves and offers shaded, relatively temperate conditions compared with surrounding lowlands.
Trails in the park are described as well-groomed but steep and difficult. The course runs on flowy singletrack through dense forest, where runners will encounter long climbs and fast descents with generally good footing.
Distances offered include:
- 50K
- Half Marathon (21K)
- 10K
Spectators are accommodated. Event materials reference race day information and documents, arrival and heat times, volunteer opportunities, and options for where to stay. Team entries are offered and team registration can align teammates to the same start time. The event also notes discounts for qualifying US service members and first responders through GOVX verification.
