Waves & Whales 5K Trail Run - Point Arena, California - Running

The Waves & Whales 5K Trail Run is a Running race in Point Arena, California consisting of a 5K Trail Run.

The annual Waves & Whales 5K Trail Run?Walk is scheduled at the Mendocino Coast in Point Arena. Taking full advantage of the location, the run will take place on the Point Arena-Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument. The course will begin behind City Hall in the conifer forest off Highway 1, making its way to the coast where it will follow the bluffs, until winding back into the pine and cypress forest. Proceeds from the Waves & Whales Trail Run will support ACORN's environmental stewardship program, Students Protecting the Coast, which engages youth in hands?on learning with a focus on conservation and community outreach. Students Protecting the Coast began during the 2012?13 school year as part of the local and national campaign to include the Point Arena?Stornetta Lands in the California Coastal National Monument. Students continue to learn about our coastal landscape and are empowered to use their voice by sharing what they've learned with the community.
