10 Miles 50k Run Trail Ultra

March 7th

Cool, CA

Welcome back to the iconic and legendary 36th Annual Way too Cool 50K, where trail runners gather to tackle one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the country. With its rolling hills, creek crossings (yup your feet will get wet!) and breathtaking views, this race has become a beloved tradition in the ultra-running community.

Our 10-mile trail run, now in its second year is a fresh addition to the celebrated Way too Cool 50K, offering runners a shorter but still challenging course through the beautiful and rugged terrain of Northern California. With its infusion into the iconic ultra, the 10-mile race promises to draw both seasoned runners and newcomers looking for an inspiring trail adventure.

You can expect first class race management from start to finish. Well stocked aid stations, experienced volunteers and the best part....our homemade signature frog cupcake!

Whether you're here for a personal best or to soak in the scenery, we're thrilled to have you be part of this WTC unforgettable experience.

    Course Information

    Saturday, April 11th 2026: 8:30 am

    Your journey begins at the beautiful Auburn Overlook, where the Wild Flowers 10K takes off into some of the most scenic trails in Northern California. This fun loop has a little bit of everything — smooth downhills, peaceful flats, and (because this is Auburn) a reminder that if you go down… you will go back up.

    You’ll experience sections of gorgeous single-track, rolling stretches perfect for finding your rhythm, and viewpoints that will make you stop and say “wow” or at least pretend you’re stopping for the view and not to catch your breath.

    We’ll have two fully stocked aid stations, a cheerful crew directing you every step of the way, and… breaking news…Sasquatch has officially confirmed his appearance. (He promised to cheer loudly, but we can’t guarantee he won’t photobomb.)

    Get ready for fun, adventure, and the most unforgettable 10K you’ll ever run.

    Course Preview Day

    Join us for a course preview training run on March 29 at 8:00 AM, starting at Wild Runners Auburn (198 Sacramento St, Auburn, CA). We’ll explore the route together so you’ll know exactly what to expect on race day.

    After the run, enjoy refreshments and food back at Wild Runners. Our sponsors will also be there with demo shoes, and 3 lucky runners will each win a free pair of shoes!
