Run California’s remote and enchanting wilderness coast.
Stage: 60 Miles, 5 Days
The Lost Coast is the most remote trail on the Aspire calendar. Logistics for us are a bear, which translates to incredible vistas and ocean side camping for runners. It’s so good, we can’t stay away.

There was not a detail forgotten by the Aspire team on our trip - from the chips and cold drinks at the car after a long day on the trail to massage and chairs waiting for us at camp. The meals were delicious - beyond outstanding. We can hardly wait to plan the next adventure with Aspire!

The Lost Coast is so rugged California gave up on trying to tame it!
