Pechanga Trail Run

Start times vary by distance.

The 50K, 26.2-mile, and 13.1-mile races start at 7:00 a.m., the 10K at 7:30 a.m., and the 5K at 8:00 a.m.,

while Kids Run starts at 10:00 a.m. Race briefings take place 10 minutes before each distance starts and cover course details and distance-specific points to note.

Packet pickup is available only once, from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. The organizers recommend picking up your packet in advance to avoid the race-day lines.

Participants who register before the shirt deadline receive a T-shirt, bib, and timing chip;

those who register later receive alternative swag such as a hat or cup.

This is a cupless race.

No plastic or Styrofoam cups are provided at aid station, so bring your own cup, water bottle, or hydration vest.

Aid station offers cookies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, oranges, bananas, watermelon,

pickles and pickle juice, fruit snacks, Pringles, Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, ginger ale, Tailwind, and SaltStick.

Pacer pacers are not allowed.

Results are provided for both gun time and chip time, but awards are based on gun time, so starting on time is advantageous.

Awards are presented to the top three overall men and women and to the top male and female masters runners.

Finisher medal is awarded to all finishers, and participants who do not finish also receive a memento corresponding to the distance they completed.

The 50K Entry fee is $91.

For accommodation, Krause Springs operates a festival-style campground and RV sites.

There is no separate reservation system;

spots are secured by phone or email.

The organizers also provide discounted rates through a partnership with Blanco County Inn.
