Race Information

Formerly known as the Ancient Redwood Running Festival, the Mendocino Running Festival reflects the glory of its new home, in Mendocino Woodlands State Park. Just outside of Mendocino proper, the tradition of running through the gorgeous Mendocino forest continues. A full weekend of fun awaits runners of all distances, along with plenty of activities for the entire family. After your run, enjoy more incredible food and drink while meeting fun folks, soaking in the nearby river, listening to music, and sipping on local wine. Many other surprises treats are in store for this festive event.

Note for dog owners: Mendocino Woodlands State Park has a strict no-dog policy. The only exception is for ADA-compliant guide dogs.
