Saturday, May 9th 31st Annual Paiute Meadows Trail Run
Lassen Land and Trails Trust will be teaming up with the Bizz Running Company on Saturday, May 9th, to host the 31st annual Paiute Meadows Trail Run.
Held at Susanville Ranch Park—the region’s premiere trail system—this year’s event features a distance for every level of runner, including a 50K, a 50K two-person relay, a 30K, a Half Marathon, a 4.5 Miler, and a free one-mile kid’s run.
Featuring mostly single-track trails, participants will experience breathtaking views as they traverse a variety of beautiful landscapes on the outskirts of town. According to organizers, the courses rival any true trail race in the region, offering challenging climbs, water crossings, and diverse terrain ranging from lush meadows and pine-covered forests to lava flows and wildflower-covered hillsides.
New 50K Course for 2026 The Half Marathon: This 13.7-mile trail follows portions of the 50K course, including the final downhill thrill of the locally famous “Heart Attack Hill.” It is described as the perfect course for those not quite ready to tackle the 50K distance.
