Yuba Gold

Embark on a self-guided adventure through California's scenic landscapes for the Yuba Gold Trail Run, taking place throughout October 2027. Choose your own pace and route within the month-long window to tackle either the challenging point-to-point 50K course or the newer half marathon distance.
The 50K journey begins at South Yuba Campground, following the trail eastward through lush forests and alongside rushing rivers until reaching Bear Valley. The route is marked by historical signs and natural beauty, with public restrooms available both at the start and finish as well as halfway along the path near Poorman Creek.
For those opting for the half marathon distance, set off from North Bloomfield's historic hydraulic mining town, navigating a picturesque loop around a serene pond before returning to your starting point. This course offers glimpses of local flora and fauna, with restroom facilities conveniently located in town.
Both routes come with potential challenges due to overgrown vegetation and occasional fallen trees, making navigation an integral part of the experience. Participants are encouraged to connect via social media groups for support and updates on trail conditions. Upon completion within a continuous stretch during October 2027, submit your results online to secure a coveted Yuba Gold sticker and be ranked among fellow runners.
Immerse yourself in nature while pushing personal limits along these iconic trails.
