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. 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.
And now it's your turn. Dick Collins Firetrails is made of 3 events: Bay Ridge 100k, Firetrails 50, and The Golden Hills Marathon. We will not feature a 30k race this year.
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.

FIRETRAILS COURSE REVEAL
This year, we will return to the OG Course for Firetrails 50! This means a fast race out to Lone Oak and back. There are a few tiny changes from the classic course but not many.

Here's that 50 mile course:
For the 100k, we will lean into the OG course and continue the recent tradition of running to Rancho Laguna:
Because there is no Dinosaur Ridge, there will be no Dinosaur Ridge 30k.
For the Golden Hills Marathon we will return to the OG course as well. This means starting at Lone Oak in Tilden Regional Park. We will offer bus service from the start, which will leave at 7, or you can meet us there.
