The Enviro-Sports Big Sur Trail 5K is an annual short-distance race that offers participants a taste of the magnificent natural scenery of California's Big Sur region without the extreme distance of a marathon or half marathon. This 3.1-mile event is accessible to runners and walkers of all skill levels, from seasoned athletes to families and outdoor enthusiasts who want to experience a trail race. Despite its shorter length, the 5K still takes participants through some of the area's most iconic landscapes, including sections of lush redwood forests and possibly glimpses of the rugged coastline. Organized by Enviro-Sports, the event maintains a strong focus on sustainability and environmental conservation, incorporating eco-friendly practices into the race organization and encouraging participants to engage with nature responsibly.
