The run along Franklin Trail begins at Carpinteria High School, winding around the school parking lot, track field, and adjacent orchards where the trail emerges onto a lovely single-track with magnificent ocean views. A steady climb and switchbacks will take you up Franklin Canyon with numerous vistas along the way. From single-track, you run on a dirt road alongside several ranches, well-developed coastal scrub and mixed chaparral.

Just A Few Trail Runners

Join over 150 runners on a scenic course in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains with panoramic views of the Carpinteria Coast, Pacific Ocean, and the Channel Islands from a beautiful coastal chaparral setting.

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.

The Santa Barbara County Trails Council’s mission is to protect public trail access, build and maintain safe and sustainable trails, and promote public engagement in land stewardship and trail use for all types of outdoor recreation.

This trail run is held under a special use permit and in partnership with the Los Padres National Forest.
