Trailsgiving - Elysian Park
Trailsgiving takes place at Elysian Park in Los Angeles on November 14, 2026. The event offers multiple trail race distances on park trails that are primarily hard-packed dirt with hills. Sections of the course vary between wider and narrower singletrack. Routes are organized as out-and-back loops and are marked with cones, signs, arrows, and spray chalk.
An aid station at the turnaround/start/finish provides water cups, water bottles, Gatorade cups, and GU gels. The course layout includes a dedicated 5k out-and-back route; longer distances repeat that loop or use additional out-and-back segments.
Distances:
- 5k out-and-back route
- 10k two 5k loops
- 15k three 5k loops
- Half marathon three 4.36-mile out-and-back loops
Included with registration are custom finisher medals, drawstring goodie bags, free videos, live results at finish, free photos matched by bib, cinematic race highlight reels, trophies and achievement badges for milestones, an Ascend Index ranking, Ascend Crew features, and a free event app. Snacks and samples are provided on site. Group discounts are applied for qualifying registrations via the organizer's registration platform.
Race day registration is available with multiple payment methods, and transfers must be arranged with the organizer. There is a no refund policy. Parking is free at the Elysian Park Arboretum, with additional limited parking on Elysian Park Drive and a nearby Academy Road lot near picnic site 4.
