Thacher Park Trail Running Festival

John Boyd Thacher State Park
1 Hailes Cave Road

The Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, produced by ARE Event Productions, was created in 2014 in conjunction with the Thacher Park Centennial Festival. In 2015, we expanded the event to use more of the park's trails providing even more opportunity to see all that the park has to offer.

We welcome you to enjoy the park's beautiful and tranquil scenery on a summer's day by participating in either the 10K, 13.1M, 26.2M or 50K.
