Sunset & Cider Trail Races

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 11, 2026, and join us in Auburn, CA, for the next edition of the Sunset & Cider Trail Races, set against the dramatic backdrop of the American River Canyon. Choose your challenge with the 50K, Half Marathon, or 5-Mile distances, each offering a chance to push your limits or simply soak in the golden-hour views as the sun sets over the canyon. After the finish, the celebration continues at Ponderosa Cider Company, where every runner will enjoy two complimentary cider pours, a custom Sunset & Cider trail hat, and a commemorative cider glass to mark the occasion. Come for the miles, stay for the community, and leave with memories (and cider) worth savoring.
