About the SPASM Crystal Springs Trail Run
The trails here run through Huddart Park, climbing into redwoods and ferns on courses that range from a short loop to a full ultramarathon distance. The longer you go, the more single-track you get, and the longer distances carry serious elevation. This is not a road race wearing trail shoes; the terrain earns the description.
Check-in opens race morning at the Werder Shelter inside Huddart Park. Parking requires exact change at the gate, so have it ready. Gear that is not worth worrying about can be left at the start and finish area, but there is no bag check and no dogs in the park.

The SPASM Crystal Springs Trail Run has been held every year since at least 2021. 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.
