Peninsula Trail Running Festival

Registration is closed. We will have Race Day Registration. 

Welcome to the inaugural Peninsula Trail Running Festival. The PTRF will feature a 4.45 mile loop that will be run both directions. Pick between the Half Marathon, Marathon, or 40 Miler. Then, after your race, you get to enjoy the company of all your trail running mates with the best post race BBQ Chef in all of the Northern California trail running scene, Food Network Celebrity Chef Yaku Moton-Spruill. Philly Cheesesteaks with onions & peppers will be waiting for you at the finish. Plant based runners will get strips of tofu in place of beef.
