Join the adventure at the Avalon Benefit 50 Mile/50K Run on Saturday, January 10, 2026, in the charming city of Avalon, Los Angeles. Celebrating its 43rd year, this iconic ultra trail run showcases the stunning landscapes of Catalina Island, making it the oldest event of its kind in California. The 50K distance, which has quickly become a favorite in the trail running community since its inception six years ago, offers participants the chance to traverse the same breathtaking trails as the 50 Mile run.

Runners will embark on an unforgettable journey that takes them the full length of the island and back, all while being surrounded by awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean and the unique wildlife, including the occasional bison. With enthusiastic volunteers and well-stocked aid stations along the route, the Avalon Benefit Run promises not only an exhilarating challenge but also a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for all participants. Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of California's natural jewels while pushing your limits and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners!
