Dick Collins Firetrails

Welcome to Dick Collins Firetrails!

Join us as we continue the tradition of Dick Collins Firetrails. When you step up to the start at Firetrails, you are stepping into history, one that winds back to when Dick Collins was the race director. Dick is a legend. He's remembered on a bench near the turnaround for the 50-mile race, in the camp below Skyline Gate. When you race here, you also stand on the shoulders of giants. Perhaps none are greater than those of course-record-holder Ann Trason, who directed this race for many years and who considered Dick Collins a mentor. And now it's your turn.

Dick Collins Firetrails is made of 3 events: Bay Ridge 100k, Firetrails 50, and The Golden Hills Marathon. We will not feature a 30k race this year.

UTMB: Dick Collins Firetrails races are UTMB Index races.
P-USATF Grand Prix: The Firetrails 50-mile race is part of the Pacific USATF Grand Prix.

The Courses

In 2026 we will reintroduce sections of the race from its early decades, including Sibley and Tilden Regional Parks. We look forward to Dick Collins Firetrails Course Reveal, which will take place in early January.

Starting Times and Time Limits

• Bay Ridge 100k: Starts at 5am. Time limit: 16.5 hours.
• Firetrails 50 Miler: Starts at 6 am. Time limit: 15.5 hours.
• Golden Hills Marathon: Starts at 7 am. Time limit: 13.5 hours.

Cutoffs are firm because of our permits and the general curfew in the East Bay Regional Parks.

Swag and Awards

All finishers receive a Firetrails shirt, finisher's hoodie, wine glass, custom bib, and woodallion. The Bay Ridge 100k finishers also receive a coveted rhino belt buckle. Age Group Awards are given to the top finishers in each race by 10-year age groups.

Refunds and Other Policies

Generally, refunds are not offered. Outside of 30 days, deferrals to a future year or another Scena race are possible through Ultrasignup. Inside of 30-days, deferrals may be granted in exchange for volunteering. For other policies, including natural disaster clauses, visit the Policies section of our website.
