The Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, produced by ARE Event Productions, was created in 2014 in conjunction with the Thacher Park Centennial Festival. In 2015, we expanded the event to use more of the park’s trails providing even more opportunity to see all that the park has to offer.
It truly is a gorgeous course. (Check out these pics.) We welcome you to enjoy the park’s beautiful and tranquil scenery on a summer’s day by participating in either the 10K, 13.1M, 26.2M or 50K.
