AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE

The Valencia Trail Race is an amazing experience that features a 10 kilometer, half marathon, and a 50k ultra distance run. Annually, the community is invited to experience a trail course that takes you up to the peaks and along the ridgelines with panoramic views, then into the canyons through the hills of Valencia for a truly awesome trail challenge. This year, the race took place on Saturday, March 25th at 7:00 AM on our Highlands property, which gave runners the exposure to awesome trails, hills, breathtaking views, and most importantly, beautiful nature. The course contained 20 hills, 70% single track, and 30% mountain roads. We are pleased to announce a portion of the race proceeds gave support to different charities, including Wildlife Waystation and Global Adventure Kids.  To Learn more... VALENCIA Trail Race!
