ATHLETE GUIDE
Get ready for the ultimate 50k in Orange County! O’Neill Park Trail Races
takes place on some of KHRaces’ favorite trails in SoCal! Taking place among
the park’s 4,500 acres in the incredible Trabuco and Live Oak Canyons, you’ll
run through the iconic coast live oak and sycamore trees of the area and
alongside hillsides surrounded filled with cactus, wild buckwheat, sagebrush
and chaparral of scrub oak, buckthorn and mountain mahogany. It’s going to be
a great day!

reusable bottle from my gallon jugs at the finish. Please bring a chair and
hang out. til the race ends It will be a fun, beautiful day!
RULES + RESPONSIBILITIES
- NO LITTERING. 99% of you would never think of it, but it must be said. DO NOT ever drop trash anywhere other than in a trash bag, at an aid station. If trash is seen on the trail, I could lose my permits!
- WE ARE CUP-LESS. Please bring a reusable cup/hydration pack/bottle. Find them at Fleet Feet Laguna Niguel at bib pickup, your local running store & REI.
- BE NICE, BE KIND, OR BE CUT. Be nice to each other, be nice to the volunteers, be nice to other trail users – or be disqualified. KHRaces does not tolerate abuse of any kind, to anyone.
- BE ON TIME. We cannot allow runners to start the race late. Please arrive with enough time to get your bib, get settled and get to the start line on time. This is for your safety, and for the safety of our permits.
- BE CLEAN. Volunteers will use tongs to hand out snacks, etc. Runners must open & close their own packs/handhelds and volunteers will fill with whatever liquids you need.
- BE AWARE. Music/headphones are OK, but keep the volume low & be aware of other runners & trail users.
- DROP BAGS: 50k runners ONLY may have a drop bag at Mile 17. Please no large coolers or large, heavy bags. Drop bags should be able to close fully for transport, or you risk losing items in transit. Drop bags need to be picked up when you finish at the start/finish line.
