About the Event

Tackle one of Southern California's most legendary and grueling point-to-point challenges at the Nine Trails 35 Mile Endurance Run on March 14, 2026. This iconic course traverses the entire Santa Barbara front country trail system, linking nine distinct paths with over 10,000 feet of steep, technical climbing and descent in just 35 miles—a distance that seasoned runners equate to a tough 50-miler. The out-and-back journey from the Jesusita Trailhead to Romero Canyon and back offers breathtaking coastal views and a true test of mountain running skill and endurance.

Designed for experienced athletes, the event is minimally supported with long stretches between aid stations, requiring self-sufficiency and familiarity with the course or use of the provided GPX file. A non-competitive 17-mile 'Half' option provides a taste of the challenge. With a strict no-parking policy at the trailhead and a reputation for attracting elite talent, this is a pure, no-frills adventure for serious trail runners seeking a historic and punishing early-season test.

About Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is a city and metropolitan area less than 100 miles from Los Angeles but vastly different in pace from its huge neighbor to the south. With a temperate climate and lush natural environs, the "Riviera of the West" is a pleasant day or weekend trip from L.A. Its wide beaches, highly rated wineries, and a large variety of shopping and dining choices enable the town of just 90,000 residents to enjoy the sort of cultural and social amenities which are usually found only in much larger cities.
