About the San Joaquin River Trail Half Marathon & 10K
The San Joaquin River Gorge is the setting, and the terrain makes no apologies. Nearly all of the course runs on single-track trail through the foothills, with steep climbs and rough ground underfoot. Both distance options are demanding, and the organizers are upfront that your time here will be slower than on pavement. Carry water and your own fuel.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a Fleet Feet location in Fresno, with race-morning pickup available at the start area. Parking is at the Aholul Campground near the start and in surrounding lots, and carpooling is encouraged. Volunteers direct traffic once you reach the gorge. There are refreshments at the finish, and the area is worth sticking around.

The San Joaquin River Trail Half Marathon & 10K 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 Nov 12, 2026.
