Get ready to run where rugged terrain meets unforgettable scenery at Mt. Madonna County Park. This race takes you through rolling hills, winding roads, and shaded forest trails high above the Santa Clara Valley, delivering equal parts challenge and reward. As you climb and descend through the park, keep an eye out for Mt. Madonna’s famous bright yellow banana slugs—local trail celebrities that add a fun, uniquely NorCal touch to the experience. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just soaking in the views, this is a run that feels wild, iconic, and anything but ordinary.
