THE TRAILS ARE CALLING!
The Fleet Feet Fall Trail Classic returns to Upper Bidwell Park on October 18, 2026 — and this year, you have THREE ways to take on the trails!
🏃♀️ HALF MARATHON
13.1 miles of beautiful Upper Bidwell trails
1,600+ feet of climbing in the first half
A fast, fun downhill finish
8:10 AM start
🔥 4-MILE BACKYARD ULTRA ENDURANCE CHALLENGE
How far can you go?
Complete a 4-mile loop in under 60 minutes and you’re back in the chute for another round. A new round starts every hour for up to 8 hours!
The direction changes every other lap
Run 1 loop, 3 loops, 5 loops... or go for all 8!
Complete all 8 and you’ll cover approximately 32 miles!
If more than one runner makes it to the final hour, it becomes a race to the finish!
✨ NEW THIS YEAR — 4-MILE ONE LOOP
Want to experience the course without committing to the endurance challenge? This is for you!
Run one 4-mile loop with the endurance runners, finish with a chip time, and count it as a 5K for the Fleet Feet Race Series!
🌿 MORE THAN JUST A RACE
Your registration helps support Chico Velo Trailworks, whose volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours to maintaining and improving our local trails.
