Trinidad to Clam Beach Run
The Trinidad to Clam Beach Run is an annual 5.75 mile road and beach event held in Trinidad, California. The course begins in town and follows an undulating road lined with redwood trees, crosses the Little River at Moonstone Beach, and continues over sand to the finish at Clam Beach State Park. The event includes a post-race gathering on the beach with a hot bowl of chili, music, and a bonfire.
The starting area is Saunders Park in Trinidad. Street parking is available in town, with overflow parking in the grassy lot behind Murphy's Market; parking at Clam Beach is limited. A shuttle service operates to transport runners from the South Clam Beach parking area back to Town Hall where registration was held.
Packet pickup is available the day before the race at the Jogg’n Shoppe in Arcata and on race day at Trinidad Town Hall. Registration pricing is listed for periods before and after January 8, 2027, with options that include a shirt or no shirt. The listing identifies the event as the 61st annual edition taking place on January 30, 2027. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
