About the Redwood (Spring) Trail Run
The courses run through Redwood Park east of downtown Oakland, mixing wide dirt roads with stretches of single-track through the trees. The shorter distances stay relatively gentle, while the longer options pile up serious climbing across rolling, wooded terrain. Drop bags are allowed at the start and finish area for runners on the longer distances.
Check-in opens race morning at the Chabot Space & Science Center. Parking there is free. Arrive with enough time before your start to get your bib and get moving.

The Redwood (Spring) Trail Run has been held every year since at least 2022. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
