That's No Moon Trail Races
That's No Moon is a trail race weekend held in the Cleveland National Forest near Silverado, CA, with three distances on forest roads through the Santa Ana Mountains. The courses traverse remote, rough terrain where weather can be extreme and hazards include wildlife, steep cliffs, and uneven surfaces.
Distances include:
- 50 Mile
- 50K
- 30K
Each distance features significant elevation gain and exposed ridgelines. Key statistics for 2026 list total elevation gain and maximum elevation for each distance, reflecting sustained climbing on the courses. Aid stations are staffed and range from full service to water only; some stations have radio support. Drop bag locations are provided for longer distances and drop bag procedures are specified.
Crew and pacer policies vary by distance: crew access on course is restricted for shorter distances, while the 50 Mile allows pacers and limited crew support at a designated aid location. Mandatory gear requirements include carrying one’s own food, fluids, clothing, and at least 40 ounces of water. Lights are required for running after dark and may be enforced for safety.
The 50 Mile serves as a Sterling Silver ticket race, with top finishers earning guaranteed entry into a subsequent 100 mile event subject to additional entry obligations and trail work. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
