The seventh annual Paseo de Mariposa, is a 5K, 8(ish)K and 12K Trail Run held within Mariposa County. The race starts on the grounds of the Mariposa Courthouse, the oldest courthouse (c.1851) west of the Rockies that is still in use.

The Paseo de Mariposa as a family-friendly trail running event that children and adults of all ages can enjoy. However, if you're new to trail running or running in general there definitely a few things for you to consider before signing up for this race.

The three different distances each have varying levels of difficulty and we definitely recommend that you consider your athletic ability and experience before race day.  Aid stations will be spread out across each of the three distances the members of the Mariposa county search and rescue team will also be on hand for runner support.
