Embark on a picturesque and moderately challenging 10K trail adventure at the Lag Bon 10K on March 22nd, 2026, in Fairfax, CA. Starting and finishing at the scenic Lake Lagunitas Picnic Area, this race guides runners through the gorgeous trails surrounding Marin County's pristine reservoirs. The technical course features a diverse mix of terrain, including stairs, bridges, roots, and rocks, interspersed with plenty of easygoing flat sections, all while offering approximately 400 feet of elevation gain and loss. With typical race day conditions in late March seeing highs around 65°F and lows around 45°F, and a 20% chance of precipitation, runners should be prepared for potentially cool, wet, and muddy conditions. Aid stations, equipped with bathrooms and GU energy gels/chews, are conveniently located after Bon Tempe Dam at the 3.5-mile mark and at the start/finish area.
Beyond the stunning scenery and engaging course, the Lag Bon 10K stands out as a dedicated fundraiser for World Water Day. All ticket sales exceeding event costs directly support Evidence Action's Safe Water Now program, contributing to alleviating the global water crisis. This unique trail race, which began in 2020 and meets ATRA's Event Standards, limits participation to just 100 runners to minimize environmental impact, fostering an intimate and focused race atmosphere. While runners of all abilities are encouraged to participate, a two-hour course limit means a walking pace is not recommended. Packet pickup will be held the day before the race at the San Francisco Running Company's San Anselmo location.
