About the Leave No Trace
The course runs through a Boy Scout camp on a high plateau, on trails that are otherwise closed to the public. Expect single-track most of the way, with quick turns, pine groves, rolling hills, and a waterfall passage. The terrain is technical, and there is one last climb right before the finish. Leashed dogs are permitted out on the trail.

The Leave No Trace has been held every year since at least 2013. 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.
