Running Events
The Wild Willits Fest kicks off the morning of October 20 with our running events. Starting from Recreation Grove in Willits, the course winds through the glorious Little Lake Valley. Runners and walkers will be in touch with the land with every step they take and can expect Mother Nature to show off her brilliant fall colors and smells. Along the route, markers will point out various points of interests and unique activities. All race finishers receive a medal and other great finisher's swag! Runners 10 and under race for FREE! Can't decide which race to run? No problem! We offer day-of registration for any last minute runners.
Recreation Grove
Join us post-run in the Rec Grove for live music, delicious local food, artist booths, activities for kids, booths featuring body workers, masseuses, herbalists, nutritionists, and performance experts to help runners and non-runners achieve optimal body wellness.
