About the Rattlesnake Ramble 5K/10K/Half Marathon
The race takes place inside China Camp State Park, and the distance you choose shapes a very different morning. The shortest option sticks mostly to trail with only modest climbing. The middle distance adds single-track and gets genuinely technical. The half marathon is the park's full test, with serious elevation and terrain the organizers themselves call a stout challenge, not a beginner's outing.
A virtual option exists if you cannot make the in-person date, and the organizers will provide course guidance and result submission instructions for that path.

The Rattlesnake Ramble 5K/10K/Half Marathon 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 Nov 12, 2026.
