Pacifico Ultra

Race Photography

Presented by A scenic tour of Pacifico Mountain in the majestic Angeles National Forest. The producers of the Bulldog Ultra and SoCalUltraTrail at Tejon Ranch are back again for this springtime, high-country adventure in the rugged San Gabriel Mountains…a fully-supported, wilderness experience in LA’s own wild and local big mountains, less than 20 minutes from Palmdale, 40 minutes from Santa Clarita or just a one-hour drive from downtown LA. Choose from challenging 50k or Half-Marathon routes along the Pacifico Mountain Road and the Silver Moccasin Trail straight into the heart of the Angeles National Forest. Designed with technical singletrack, mountainside truck trails and idyllic paved roads to keep you inspired and motivated with every winding turn, rewarding climb and epic descent; these runnable routes feature incredible landscapes from within silent pine forests above the high desert to Mount Gleason’s treelined ridge, Mount Hillyer’s sandy boulders and Pacifico Mountain’s panoramic views of the ANF and Mojave Desert. Join us on May 29, 2027 to celebrate an amazing course with nine expert aid station stops, free race photos, a fully-stocked finish festival with tacos, massage and enough shaded seating for everyone to enjoy and celebrate the 5,300 plus feet of vert and 31 mile journey through the San Gabes. The Half-Marathon features three aid stops and charges the 2,267’ climb straight to Pacifico Summit and back in time to celebrate with the ultra finishers.
