Presented by SoCalTrail
Welcome to the annual fundraiser for the Malibu Search and Rescue team!! The all-volunteer team relies on private donations to support its life-saving search and rescue missions, and 100% of event proceeds go directly to the team, its equipment and its mission.
Join SoCalTrail and MSAR on the beautiful trails of Malibu Creek State Park nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains – home turf for the Malibu Search and Rescue team. Hike, run or race either the 5k or 10k distances (or 1k Run/Walk for the Kids) on fire road and single track trails. Celebrate your finish with a post-race massage and stick around for prize raffles, awards and many festival exhibitors. A variety of food trucks will be on-site as well, including plant-based options.
