Mark Twain Redding Road Race

There are races for those who prefer roads but in beautiful natural settings. On bucolic country roads, runners pass a horse farm, a waterfall, a railroad bridge, wetlands, streams, lakes, and an historic schoolhouse circa 1789.

Race Info

Before races, organizers serve coffee, fruit, bagels, and donuts. After are pizza, home-made cookies, and tons of other foods, including some vegan dishes. During the races, runners have water and gatorade at every station, and candy, fruit, and soda at still another station.

All runners will receive a high-quality performance shirt, and organizers have also designed multiple other race mementos that are unique to the race.

The Flying Frog Frenzy (Kids’ Fun Run) of 3/4 of a mile is entirely on Hoyt Campground and will occur before the start of the other two races.
