About The Born To Run Experience
2025 registration will open on August 31, 2024
The Born To Run Ultra Marathon Extravaganza is a extraordinary trail running experience and much, much more. If you are reading this, you probably understand that.
Since 2011, we have been meeting, running, dancing and celebrating on a private cattle ranch hidden somewhere in Santa Barbara California.
By design, this event is difficult to find and challenging in every way.
We hope that you decide to join us for a few days of trail running and camping on the beautiful California Central Coast.
