About the Everyone Runs Veterans Day Catalina St. Park 10.6 & 5.3 Mile Trail Races + 5k Road Run
The trail races run through Catalina State Park on paths that the organizer describes as easy, surrounded by desert landscape. The road option stays inside the park too, on roads closed to traffic. All distances start and finish at the park trailhead, so there is no shuttling or separate staging.
Parking inside the park is tight, and carpooling is strongly encouraged. Some runners end up parking along the incoming shoulder and walking in. A parking pass must be picked up ahead of time at a Fleet Feet location. There is a homemade Mexican breakfast and coffee at the finish, along with fruit and nuts.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Everyone Runs Veterans Day Catalina St. Park 10.6 & 5.3 Mile Trail Races + 5k Road Run has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
