Summit Rock Half Marathon
Summit Rock Half Marathon is a half marathon held in Saratoga, US, in December. It is a trail event in Sanborn County Park, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the paths run beneath redwoods. Runners can choose a 5K, a 10K or the half marathon, and a remote option is available for those who prefer to run elsewhere.
All distances include narrow single-track through redwood groves, where light filters down through a thick canopy. The half marathon and 10K routes also climb to high points with wide views. The event welcomes runners of every level, and walking is encouraged on the hills. A separate hiker division exists for half marathon entrants who expect to need a long time on the course.
