Bedrock Valley Trail Runs

Embark on an unforgettable trail running adventure at the Bedrock Valley Trail Runs, set amidst the stunning scenery of Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet, CA, on April 11, 2026. This family-friendly event, part of the Elevation Culture Race Series, offers a diverse range of distances, including a full Marathon (26.2M), Half Marathon (13.1M), 15K, and 5K, alongside a Stroller 5K and Kid's 1-Mile Fun Run, ensuring something for every runner.

Runners can anticipate uninterrupted views of the lake and surrounding snow-capped mountains, creating a truly scenic experience. The Marathon features a relatively flat loop with beautiful single-track sections and small climbs, while the Half Marathon offers a gorgeous out-and-back along the lake bed.

The Bedrock Valley Trail Runs are celebrated for their exceptional organization and vibrant atmosphere. Aid stations are well-stocked with essentials like HoneyStinger gummies and gels, though runners should note it's a cupless event and bring their own hydration vessels. Finishers are awarded handcrafted wooden medals and a tri-blend finisher shirt, culminating in an "Elevated Camp" experience with non-alcoholic beverages, games, and recovery amenities, fostering a strong sense of community and celebration.
