Trail racing in the Bay Area for June 2014

Toughest Trail Race in Solano County!!!

June is just around the corner and for me that means Lynch Canyon time!!! We have a ton of great races to choose from this month like the Double Dipsea and the Chabot Trail Challenge. For the craziest of runners June has the 6 & 12 hour event at Chrissy Field happening TWICE within two days because...... well just because! Two of Junes super popular races have already sold out, The Hook & Ladder Run at Wente Vineyards in Livermore and the iconic Dipsea. All of the others still have spots open at the time of this publishing. If you are looking for a family-centric event I would say the Lynch Canyon with its free 2.5 mile hike is spot on. It is stroller friendly (sort of) and all you have to do is show up and sign a waiver. I think my wife will be participating in the hike this year while I crush my last years time on the half course. If charity runs are your thing check out the unique Dusk Buster in Golden Gate Park benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Brazen's Ultra Half Series continues with the Trail Quake and of course I will be there. Whichever race you choose be sure to bring your water bottles because June is looking to be a really warm month. See you out there.

June trail races in the Bay Area

An explosion of races fall out of the sky in the month of June! Eleven "one off" events (events that are not part of a regular race companies schedule) and four events from Coastal Trail Runs help thicken the selection. ITR and TCTR are both holding 50 milers. Not to be out done PCTR is holding a 6 hour and a 12 hour event. Every distance imaginable is available including the odd ball 8k, 15k, 25k & 30k distances. The world famous Dipsea & Double Dipsea is taking place in June as it does every year. It really doesn't matter which side of the bay you live on, chances are that a race is being held in your neck of the woods this weekend. We have races as far flung as Vallejo & Brentwood to Santa Cruz and all points in between. If you cant find a race with a distance you want that is close to home in the month of June you are one tough customer to satisfy. Get out there and enjoy the trail season!
