PLACER TRAIL RUNNING FESTIVAL 50K is now OUTLANDS 50K & 50M

In 2025, the 50K race at Peninsula Campground has been spun off into its own event, the Outlands 50K & 50M, taking place on April 12th. The Placer Trail Running Festival will still return on May 17th at Granite Beach in Granite Bay, CA, featuring the 25K, 10K, 5K, and 5K Canicross races, but no longer includes the 50K distance in 2025. These updates allow each event to offer a more tailored and exciting experience for runners.
