About the Event

Nestled just six miles northeast of downtown Salinas, Toro Park offers runners an unforgettable blend of challenging terrain and breathtaking scenery. The race route winds through lush fields and expansive prairies before ascending steep hills that test even the most seasoned athletes.
As participants climb to the top of each peak, they are rewarded with panoramic views of Northern California's majestic mountains stretching out in every direction. These moments provide a brief respite from the grueling ascent, allowing runners to pause and soak in the natural beauty surrounding them before descending into another section of varied terrain.
The course at Toro Park is designed not only for speed but also for appreciation of the landscape that unfolds with each step taken along its winding paths.
Toro Park's unique combination of challenging elevation changes and stunning vistas makes it a must-visit destination for runners seeking both physical challenge and visual splendor in one race experience.
