About the Event

Tackle the legendary hills of Auburn at the No Hands Trail Run on Saturday, January 10, 2026, starting from the scenic American River Overlook Park. This Inside Trail Racing event offers four distinct challenges: a punishing 50k, a formidable 35k, a "Heavy" Half Marathon, and an 8k, all sharing the historic Western States Trail and the iconic crossing of No Hands Bridge. Each distance confronts runners with the area's infamous climbs, including the dreaded K2 training hill and the final, punishing ascent up Overlook Hill to the finish, promising a true test of strength on classic California terrain.

With staggered starts from 7:30 AM on January 10th, this cupless, environmentally conscious race is a must-do for trail runners seeking a rugged, well-organized winter challenge in the heart of Gold Country. It's a celebration of raw effort and stunning canyon vistas, where the shared suffering on the climbs forges camaraderie and every finisher earns bragging rights on some of the most revered trails in the Sierra foothills.
