As you would expect from the most populous state in the US, California has a thriving running scene. Choose from bustling city courses or get lost on the trails of one of California's world famous forests. Whether you’re at the start of your running journey, or you’re a seasoned racer looking to shave seconds off your personal best, you’ll find the right challenge here. Choose from major events in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco or use the below filters to narrow down by location, date and distance.

The golden state has a huge range of events to choose from. 5km is one of the most popular distances to race. It’s achievable for the whole family and, with a huge range of themed races, fun runs and community events, is a great day out. This shorter distance is also great for seasoned athletes to looking hone their race times.

A 10k race is a tough but doable distance for beginners looking to move up from 5k races and test themselves with a longer run.

Looking for a tougher challenge? Take on one of California's many half marathons giving you the chance to experience everything from rugged cliffs and sequoias on the pacific coast to the steep hills of San Francisco.

For the ultimate challenge, check out listings of Ultra Running events in California with plenty of tough 50 and 100 mile races available.

And it doesn’t have to be all about running for training - why not take part in fundraising to put dollars behind your miles and raise money for charity?
