Welcome to the Watuppa Trail Races!
Experience a trail runner’s dream course through the scenic and serene Watuppa Reservation. Whether you are looking to test your endurance or enjoy a fast-paced morning in the woods, our course is designed to highlight the very best of South Coast trail running.
The Course Experience
Forget the relentless rock-hopping and jagged technical climbs. The Watuppa course is built for flow and speed, featuring:
-
Fast Grassy Fire Lanes: Wide, open stretches where you can really open up your stride and find your rhythm.
-
Winding Single Track: Smooth, flowing paths that tuck into the forest, offering just enough twist and turn to keep things exciting without slowing you down.
Choose Your Challenge
We offer three distinct distances to cater to every level of runner:
-
50K & 30K: Perfect for those looking to transition into ultra-distances or seasoned vets wanting a fast, runnable course to set a personal best.
-
10K: A spirited, scenic loop that is perfect for everyone. It offers enough speed for the seasoned trail runner to push their limits, while remaining approachable and fun for new trail runners looking to get off the pavement.
Why Run Watuppa?
This event is about more than just the miles; it’s about the community. From our supportive volunteers to the camaraderie at the finish line, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates every runner, from the front-runners to the final finishers.
