A scenic tour of Pacifico Mountain in the majestic Angeles National Forest!!

From the producers of the Bulldog Ultra comes a brand-new, springtime, high-country adventure in the San Gabriel Mountains…a fully-supported, wilderness experience in LA’s own wild and local mountains, less than 20 minutes from Palmdale, 40 minutes from Santa Clarita or just a one-hour drive from downtown LA.

Choose from exciting 50k or Half-Marathon routes along the Pacifico Mountain Road and the Silver Moccasin Trail straight into the heart of the Angeles National Forest. Designed to keep you inspired and motivated with every winding turn, rewarding climb and epic descent; these runnable routes feature incredible landscapes from within silent pine forests above the high desert to Mount Gleason’s treelined ridge, Mount Hillyer’s sandy boulders and Pacifico Mountain’s 360 views of the ANF.

Join us on May 31, 2025 to celebrate an amazing course with expert aid stations, live-tracking, free race photos, a fully-stocked finish festival with tacos, beer and enough shaded seating for everyone to enjoy and celebrate the 5,500 plus feet of vert and 31 mile journey through the San Gabes.

The Pacifico 50k offers a $500 winner-take-all prize purse for the women’s and men’s podiums!! Overall and age group podiums in both the Half-Marathon and 50k win unique collectable awards. Every finisher get’s locally-made Trail Half or 50k Ultra medals.

Firefighters and race directors race for free!! (email info@socaltrail.events)
