TRAIL WORK

The Angeles Crest 100 Trail Volunteers have joined in efforts to restore and renew trails in the Angeles National Forest. Without the efforts of these volunteers and hundreds of others like them, the trails that make this race would cease to exist.

We also have to deal with the aftermath of this year’s winter rain on our trails and access roads to perform the trail maintenance work.

Perform trail maintenance: All runners must complete 8 hours of trail maintenance by July 13, 2025.

Expect Trail Work schedule announcements in the spring of 2025. 

Trail maintenance work Schedules are posted on the homepage under news and at the bottom of this page. 

In addition, a monthly schedule will be emailed directly to race entrants only. If you’re not in the race but would like to help please contact us or fill out a volunteer form.

If you live in Southern California (South of Fresno), you must perform your Trail Work in the Angeles National Forest with Gary Hilliard. However, if you live in Northern California or any other state or country, then perform your Trail Work in the area where you live and run. Trail Maintenance must be performed, submitted, and approved before July 13, 2025. To submit your out of state Trail work please fill out the form below.
