Run Details
Come join Santa Barbara County Trails Council on Franklin Trail for the 6th annual Island View Trail Run. The run begins at Carpinteria High School, winding around the school parking lot and adjacent orchards where the trail emerges onto a lovely uphill single track with magnificent ocean views. A steady climb and switchbacks will take you up Franklin Canyon with numerous vistas along the way. Past the first single track, you run on dirt roads alongside several ranches, well-developed coastal scrub and mixed chaparral. The 4-mile course is an out and back, turning at the end of the first section of the single-track trail just before the dirt road gate. The 10-mile course is also an out and back but continues on a dirt road towards the top of the hillside to the beginning of the Los Padres National Forest single-track trail. The 16.0-mile course is also an out & back that enters the Los Padres National Forest at 1700 feet and reaches the crest at 3700 feet — a gain of 2000 feet over three miles.

Late/ Morning of Registration
Registering the day of the event will be stressful for all so please try to do it online. Shirts will NOT be included for late registrations. Sorry, we need to know ahead of time for ordering purposes.
Trail run proceeds benefit the Franklin Trail Fund. The Trails Council, along with community partners and supporters, maintain single track trail through the Los Padres National Forest to the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains. We are now raising funds to repair the Franklin Trail segment on the north side of the mountains that goes to Jameson Lake. This gives us the possibility of extending the event farther into the forest.
