Rock It in El Moro Canyon 6K and 10 Miler

Prepare to conquer the scenic, challenging trails of the Rock It in El Moro Canyon 6K and 10 Miler, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Laguna Beach, California, on April 4, 2026. This esteemed trail race, hosted by Rock it Racing, offers runners and hikers an unforgettable experience through Crystal Cove State Park's majestic El Moro Canyon. Participants can choose between a demanding 10-mile journey or a spirited 6K, both promising a dynamic course.

The race is renowned for its truly awesome ocean views, complemented by vistas of Santiago and Modjeska Peaks, as you navigate tough climbs, rolling hills, and exhilarating singletrack sections alongside wider fire roads. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 70°F and lows near 54°F, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, ensuring ideal weather for tackling the varied terrain. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout the course, with four on the 10-miler route and two for the 6K, providing water, Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, and Honey Stinger energy gels. Remember to bring your own hydration vessel, as cups are not provided in an effort to reduce waste on the trails.

Beyond the physical challenge and stunning scenery, every finisher receives a custom medal, a high-quality race shirt, and complimentary race photos to commemorate their achievement. The event kicks off from the lower Moro Canyon parking lot at 8471 N Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA, with the 10 Miler starting at 8:00 AM and the 6K at 8:45 AM. Cash prizes await the top three male and female finishers in the 10 Miler, while the 6K awards custom prizes, along with a special bonus for new course records. Get ready to run, hike, and truly "rock it" in El Moro Canyon!
