WAY TOO COOL 2025 is BACK HOME in March!!
Welcome, Runners!
Welcome back the the icnonic and legendary 35th Annual Way too Cool 50K, on March 1, 2025 at 8 A.M. We are excited to be back!! This race is where trail runners gather to tackle one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the country. With its rolling hills, creek crossings and breathtaking views, this race has become a beloved tradition in the ultra-running community.
This race has become the most sought after 50K in the United States for veterans and novices alike. The breathtaking trails, spirited aid stations, amazing views and pure fun, make this an adventure you won't want to miss.
Our inaugural 10-mile trail run is a fresh addition to the celebrated Way too Cool 50K, offering runners a shorter but still challenging course through the beautiful and rugged terrain of Northern California. With its infusion into the iconic ultra, the 10-mile race promises to draw both seasoned runners and newcomers looking for an inspiring trail adventure.
After your run, kick back and relax as you enjoy delicious & hearty fare. Warm your soul with a cup of delicious soup. Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with our signature frog cupcake!
A special thanks to all of our sponsors for their continued support and generosity. Thanks to the two hundred volunteers who help make this race weekend possible.
Heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to the Western States Endurance Run Foundation, Western States Trail Foundation, Robie Foundation and the California Forest Foundation for their help in clearing and maintaining the trails to afford each of us an opportunity to run and enjoy.
I look forward to seeing you in Cool, CA on Saturday, March 1, 2025!
Enjoy the Journey,
Julie Fingar
