The Inaugural Salomon WMN Trail 1/2 Marathon
Join Salomon for the first-annual WMN Trail ½ Marathon in Lake Sonoma, California, in partnership with the Lake Sonoma 50. The female-only race will follow many of the same trails that its 50-miler counterpart does, offering similarly expansive views of the lake and surrounding hills at a shorter running distance. The race weekend will offer a variety of pre- and post-event festivities centered on empowerment and community for women like fun runs, How To Trail Run Workshops, and opportunities to try the latest Salomon product. These and other activities throughout the race weekend will be brought to life by the Salomon crew including Lauren Fleshman, Cat Bradley, Stevie Kremer, Aliza Lapierre amd Courtney Dauwalter. In addition, race participants will enjoy a luxurious après race celebration complete with wine tastings, music, dance, yoga, massages, food, and community to celebrate the day’s accomplishments. Additionally, Salomon will offer certified childcare for the kids of runners, at no extra cost, to help make it that much easier for moms to participate on race day.

Clean Sport Pledge

We are in favor of random drug testing, especially when there is prize money offered at the event. Our organization also chooses to not work with coaches and agents that have athletes that are currently working with athletes that have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. We understand we have a responsibility to protect a level playing field and we will be role models in the community as ambassadors and advocates for clean sport. We pledge to honor clean sport by inviting and supporting clean athletes at our races.
Volunteering, Refunds, Transfers, Race Credit Policies
Volunteering
Volunteers and our amazing PCTR team are what make our trail running events thrive. We pride ourselves in how much we respect and reward our volunteers. Love those ”Go run a trail” shirts? Well, volunteering is the only way to get those. We also like to feed you with our amazing post-race BBQ. We also sometimes order other swag like trucker hats or beanies for volunteers depending on the event.
Shall you like to volunteer for one of our events, then please email Greg at RunPCTR@gmail.com.
- If you are entered in the event and you bring a friend or family member and they don't enter events, then you can earn their credits.
- Race credits are not transferable.
- You can bring your children with you, but you must be able to function as a volunteer while parenting ;-)
- Earn $10 in Race Credits for every hour worked. (4hrs = $40)
- 5.5hrs = $55)
- Earn 2X Credits for bad weather volunteering (HEAVY RAIN or SNOW or OTHER TBD)

If you are unable to participate in the event you paid for and miss the 45 or 15 day window because you are unable to run due to injury or under training, and volunteer at the intended event or another before 30 days of your event, then we will apply 100% race credit for a future PCTR event. If you volunteer a minimum of 5 hours. You are also eligible to receive additional race credits for the hours you volunteered if you surpass your race entry fee.
Refunds & Transfers
Entry fees associated with Pacific Coast Trail Run Events are non-refundable and non-transferable. The amount of time and expense that goes into a PCTR event is high. Contracts, permit fees, awards, shirts, and all things associated with your event happen a long time before your race day. Surely, if many of you wanted a refund because you got injured, become sick, or have to attend a family function, then all trail running companies would be out of business. We also do not transfer entries for numerous reasons. We do, and will provide race credits for a future PCTR event (less Ultrasignup.com registration fees) shall something come up that prevents you from attending the event you paid for.
Race Credits
For 100% race credit towards another PCTR event, you must notify us 45 days before your event. For 50% race credit, you must notify PCTR prior to 14 days before your event. For 25% race credit, you must notify PCTR prior to 72 hours remaining before your event. Your race credits will be valid for one year from the time you earned them.
Event's current local time: 2:31 AM PT
