North Park Trail Runners

June 29 – August 9, 2026: Welcome to North Park “Wanderland,” a summer-long Strava segment challenge unlike anything we’ve done before. Inspired by the thrills, twists, and surprises of a classic amusement park, Wanderland features 24 brand-new, ride-themed Strava segments spread across six unique areas of North Park. Each week, a new section of the park “opens,” inviting runners to explore familiar trails in completely unfamiliar ways. Chase Fast Pass honors, earn Season Pass status, tackle the challenge with friends, or simply discover new adventures hidden throughout the park. Whether you’re hunting segments during group runs or creating your own route through Wanderland, this challenge promises fun, strategy, adventure, and just a little bit of chaos all summer long. Join the North Park “Wanderland” Strava Club to access each week’s rides and follow the adventure: https://www.strava.com/clubs/2125551

September 12, 2026: Green Mile will be back for the 10th edition. 6 hours. 1 loop. Run as many times as you can—or want. Each ~2-mile loop packs 300 feet of climb on shaded singletrack from Deer Browse 2 Pavilion. Runners of all levels take on the challenge, tally their loops, and earn raffle tickets for prizes from local shops and restaurants. Awards go to our high-volume loopers, and everyone enjoys a post-run lunch.

October 24, 2026: The Nightmare Returns – 6th Edition. The trails come alive this Halloween as the Nightmare makes its haunting return! Runners face their fears with a choice of 6.66K or 13K through the dark woods, with costumed ghouls haunting the way. After crossing the finish line, the fun continued with trick-or-treating, a festive post-race party, and plenty of chills and laughs. Custom-crafted overall awards and spooky-yet-useful age group prizes rewarded the fastest souls, while every entry helped us put more magic back into our local trails and park.
