SOLD OUT! Race for Open Space 2026 | May 9

SOLD OUT! While the race itself is sold out, you can still spend a meaningful day at Palo Corona Regional Park by volunteering at this year’s Race for Open Space. Volunteer opportunities >>

Each spring, people of all ages and fitness levels join Big Sur Land Trust’s Race for Open Space—our largest annual community event. In 2025, over 300 runners, hikers, and walkers joined us to raise funds for the lands we all love in Monterey County.
This year, the event will continue to offer multiple courses to experience conserved lands that are not usually open to the public. Whether you want to go deep into the backcountry, take it easier along shorter courses, run solo, walk with a group, or just cheer on your family and friends, the Race for Open Space has something for you!
