The 2010 Folsom Lake Spring Trail Series, held on Thursday evenings, is a points based trail run series for all levels of runners.  Accumulate Series Points at each race for the Spring Series awards.  Male and Female Age Groups: 0-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 & over.  

The Series is great for all levels of runners.  The consistency of the weekly runs will improve speed, endurance and confidence. Advanced runners will benefit from using it as a weekly tempo run.   Families and friends enjoy connecting each week in a fun, athletic environment.

What's New?  Team Competition, new t-shirt logo, no laps for long course, quick registration (after your first race), see your results instantly and more...

Nine Races Dates - April 22 through June 24 (no race on May 20th).  The Series Finale and Awards is on Thursday, June 24th immediately following the race.

Two Distances - short course (3 miles) and long course (6 to 7 miles).  No laps for the long course.  You may switch between race distances during the series each week if you like. If you registered for the Series and want to change your race distance, you can do so when you check-in on race day.

Two Locations - Go to Negro Bar or Beals Point pages for maps, directions and info.

Rain or shine - The trails stay pretty firm even when it's raining.

Teams and Clubs - When you register, indicate your team or club affiliation.  Teams and clubs will have the opportunity to compete by combining their individual points for team points.  The Team/Club Competition starts on May 27th.  See Team Competition page for details.

Shirts - Adult shirts are short-sleeved, gender specific (men's and women's) and youth (unisex) t-shirts with our new custom FLTRS logo design print.  Since this is a Series, it's impossible to know how many shirts we need from week to week, therefore, only the first 300 participants will be guaranteed a t-shirt.  Shirts will not be mailed if you do not pick yours up.  Youth shirts may be purchased for $10.

Registered Runners (June 24th race)

Get Involved!

This event is for you and our trail running community.  We'd love your help in making this series the best that it can be.  Please help us spread the word.  Are you willing to pass out flyers and posters to other runners and businesses?  Email us for event promo materials.

We also need your help at our events!  Making our events a success takes a lot of  help from volunteers.   We have many positions to be filled and are looking for volunteers to help both pre-event and on race day.  As a volunteer, you may earn race credit for yourself, a significant other or family member.
