Get ready to experience the thrill of the Singletrack Stampede, a cornerstone event in the Southern California trail running scene, set to take place on March 14, 2026, in Calabasas, CA. Offering challenging 22K and 10K distances, this race is renowned for its "fast and furious" cross-country course, weaving through the scenic Las Virgenes Canyon Valley. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 74°F and lows around 45°F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for hitting the trails.

The Singletrack Stampede course is a true gem, entirely unpaved and primarily routed along the popular Millenium Loop Trail and surrounding singletrack. Participants will navigate a dynamic landscape featuring engaging switchbacks, exhilarating hillside running, and two distinct "pyramid trails" that offer expansive views of the area. The route also includes several creek crossings and showcases diverse eco-systems, with the 22K boasting 2,593 feet of elevation gain over 14.06 miles, and the 10K presenting 1,000 feet of gain across 6.3 miles. Expect a course where no climb feels too daunting and the downhills are perfect for letting loose, even passing by celebrity homes along the way.

As Race #2 of the SoCalTrail "Trail 1/2 Series," the Singletrack Stampede offers more than just a race; it's a full trail running experience. Runners will receive a unique, locally made finisher medal and complimentary race day photography to capture their achievements. The post-race festivities include a delicious vegan-friendly breakfast, hot coffee, and professional sports massage services from Vision for Enrichment. For those pushing for a top performance, the 22K offers an enticing $500 course record bonus. With well-stocked, cup-less aid stations featuring Skratch Labs hydration at key points, runners are well-supported throughout this unforgettable journey through ancient trails once traversed by the Chumash Indians.
