Join us for a 10K trail run and a 2K kids trail run in the northwestern foothills of Camp Pendleton. The 10K course offers a challenging hill climb, rolling hills along the ridgeline, and scenic views of surrounding mountains and meadows. The 2K kids run is a flat trail run.

Buffalo Alley® is the Fourth race of the 2025 Tactical Triad® & Our Brand New SURVIVE THE FIVE. Run in three of our five trail runs to receive a newly designed Tactical Triad® medal. If you run ALL five Races, you will receive a custom Survive the Five t-shirt!
