JOIN US AT SKYLINE RIDGE!
We like to call the trails at Skyline Open Space Preserve "skyscrapers." Why? Because while your running along the exposed ridge, you feel like you can almost reach out and touch the clouds. Only 200 lucky runners get to experience this event each year. Event sells out before raceday. NO RACEDAY REGISTRATION!
DESCRIPTION | Half Marathon & 10K
You'll follow hilly hiking trails through Skyline Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains and enjoy panoramic vistas from ridge tops, open meadows and forests along your way.
* The 10K climbs and descends 800 feet.
* The Half Marathon climbs and descends 1,600 feet.
From I-280 on the Peninsula:
Take the Hwy. 84/Woodside exit (observe the 25 mph through Woodside). At the top of ridge turn left and go south on Hwy. 35 (about 7 miles) to Skyline Ridge Open Space (one mile south of Page Mill Road).
From the South Bay:
Take Hwy. 9 through Saratoga towards Boulder Creek and at the stop sign at the top of the ridge turn right to head north towards San Francisco along Hwy. 35 (about 6 miles) to Skyline Ridge Open Space (on your left just past the Christmas tree farm).
