Trinidad
is located 285 miles north of San Francisco in Humboldt
County, the heart of the Redwood Coast. A former whaling
village, Trinidad is the smallest incorporated city in California.
Spectacular scenery abounds; from rugged coastline, to pristine
beaches and giant redwoods. Air transportation is available
to Eureka - Arcata Airport by several major airlines.
The
Trinidad to Clam Beach Run began as a winter training
race for Humboldt State Track and Field runners. Over
the years, it has evolved into a nationally known run,
with a 3, 5 3/4, 8 3/4 and Half Marathon (13.1 mile -
added in 2017)
The
unique feature of the run is crossing the mouth of the
Little River at Moonstone Beach. Thus, the date and start
time of the race are determined by the height of the tide
on either the last Saturday of January or the first Saturday
of February.
The
Trinidad to Clam Beach Run is sponsored by the Greater Trinidad
Chamber of Commerce. Profits from the Run support the Chamber's
scholarship fund.
