Welcome to Dick Collins Firetrails!
Join us as we continue the tradition of Dick Collins Firetrails. When you step up to the start at Firetrails, you are stepping into history, one that winds back to when Dick Collins was the race director. Dick is a legend in these parts. He's remembered on a bench near the turnaround for the 50-mile race, in the camp below Skyline Gate
When you race here, you also stand on the shoulders of giants. Perhaps none are greater than those of course-record-holder Ann Trason, who directed this race for many years and who considered Dick Collins a mentor.
Dick Collins Firetrails is made of 4 events: Bay Ridge 100k, Firetrails 50, the Dinosaur Ridge 30k, and The Golden Hills Marathon.
UTMB: Dick Collins Firetrails races are UTMB Index races.
P-USATF Grand Prix: The Firetrails 50-mile race is part of the Pacific USATF Grand Prix.
The Courses
The 2024 has all kinds of exciting changes! For the first time, we will take you on a new piece of trail out in to Rancho Laguna Park. This will create an entirely new Firetrails experience with new single track and better access for friends and family to support you.

Just look at your profile and the ability to defer is built into your registration. Inside of 30-days, we may grant deferrals in exchange for volunteering. If you care enough to be part of the community, who are we to not grant you a deferral?
