This beautifully rugged trail race begins at Laguna Lake Park and circumnavigates Cerro San Luis. The 6.2-mile course is laced with fun single track and fire road. With an elevation gain of over 1000 feet, this is no ordinary 10k.
Set against Laguna Lake with dramatic views of the coastal range and an overlook of historic downtown San Luis Obispo, the San Luis Mountain Run is becoming one of the most anticipated annual sporting events on the Central Coast.
