Welcome to the BayTrailrunners Vista Verde Skyline Run. Racers will enjoy stunning vistas of the Pacific Coast and of the spectacular Lambert Creek Watershed, Butano Ridge, Portola State Park and the newly opened Mindego Hill! Revel in tree-covered singletrack and wide open trails that roll through pristine grassy meadows, along serene ponds and over smooth flowing creeks. There is no doubt that the views and trails out here are sure to impress all who participate.
News and updates: Please join our Facebook Group.
Interested in earning a $50 credit towards an upcoming race? We can always use volunteers!
There is a 9 hour time limit for all distances.
50k runners will be turned back and must drop to the marathon distance if they fail to reach the Long Ridge Aid Station by 2:30PM, which equals 7 hours. This is at the 21 mile mark and where the marathon runners turn back.
The 10K does not go out to Mindego Hill.
Parking
Please park in the huge equestrian lot to the left of the entrance. There will be a friendly ranger and volunteer on hand to point you in the right direction. We will have a tent setup here for check-in, bib and shirt distribution. There is no cost to park.

Aid Stations
Aid will be provided on course and at the finish. Expect fruit, carbs, sweets, Spring Sports Nutrition, Skratch Labs hydration supplements, Coke and water. And since we are keeping it green as best as we can, there will be no cups provided at the aid stations. While not required, we strongly recommend that all runners carry some form of hydration pack or water bottle throughout the race.
Due to the limited time for setup, its likely that we will not have any aid for you at the start. Please arrive with a full water bottle to carry with you.

Half Marathon will see full aid 10 miles into the race.

Spectators
Family and friends can cheer on their runners in the Mindego Hill Road parking lot off of Alpine Road and again as they pass through the starting line to complete the second half of the race.
