About this race

Three days of summer trail running on dirt paths through a local city park at increasing distances. Hot and sweaty summer running in a fun-setting. Course is suitable for all ages and ability levels. Participants at the Joe-Zilla 5-Miler and the full 3-race Trailzilla Series will receive race singlets.

The event is organized, conducted, and results generated by the Peninsula Track Club. Registration is open to the public and members of the Peninsula Track Club. The entire Trailzilla race series benefits the PTC Scholarship funds.

We are planning to give awards for each Trailzilla race to the top 3 overall male & female, top male & female age group winners (5-year age groups), including 14 and under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and older, and top 3 male & female Walkers. Winners will only receive one award (if a runner receives an overall award they will not receive an age group award).

Awards for the 3-race Trailzilla Series will be given for top finishers for the 3 races to top overall male & female, top male & female age group winners (5-year age groups), including 14 and under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and over, and top male & female walker. To be eligible to win in this category runners/walkers must complete all 3 Trailzilla races. Walkers must walk all 3 races to be eligible for top male/female walker. Tie-breaker for each category will be the ranking in the Joe-Zilla 5-Miler. Winners will only receive one award (if a runner receives an overall award they will not receive an age group award).

Awards for individual races will be based on ages on race day. Awards for the 3 race series will be based on ages on 16 June 2026, the date of the first race in the series.

Walkers must walk the entire course. Walkers who jog or run any part of the course will be moved to the running category for the race and series.
