Our races are all about the participants, runners, and volunteers, and the experience they have with our race. After every race, we do a feedback<\/a> survey to help us understand how we did, how we can improve our future races, and hear what the runners and volunteers thought about their experience. We got a ton of responses and great feedback, overall it is clear that everyone had a spectacular experience.<\/p>\n But don’t take our word for it. Read a few of the testimonials below directly from the runners.<\/p>\n Huge thank you to everyone who participated, this race would not be possible without you. SPACEROCK\u00a0\u2665 you!<\/p>\n\t\t My 2nd time running this 10K, and it’s so tough, but definitely worth it. The hills are really challenging, but I feel very accomplished afterwards.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n 2nd year running this race. It’s been a great experience. The course, crews, swag\/medals are…out of this world!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I came and conquered.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This course is the toughest. Challenged me since the end had more hills than in the past.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Vasquez Rocks offered an amazing backdrop for a very challenging and fun race. The volunteers and positive race vibes were awesome!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Super challenging and beautiful half marathon+ race.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n One of the “funnest” local races in the LA area! I do this every year, and see pals from across running clubs, across communities, some friends I see only a few times a year, and I make some new friends every year. With no age group awards, the pressure is off and I know that any goals to achieve, other than climbing that last dang-blasted hill, are those that I have set for myself. So, I get to enjoy the scenery at every turn and every elevation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n It is a dream and well-organized race: the race course, scenery, participants, aid stations, and overall finishing reception were exceptional.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n New Global Adventures are the best they have excellently done above and beyond in every aspect of race directing. They are friendly and warm with each and every person they come in contact with.They make sure that I feel valued and I appreciate them very much.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The best race I’ve ever done.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This new course was the most challenged I’ve ever been.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Siempre un reto la ruta.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Awesome race!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This was a well-organized race from start to finish. The color-coded race flags were well placed, and the volunteers cheered us on when it was hard. I liked the 20-minute spacing between groups so that friends of different races could finish around the same time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Awesome!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I’d only ever heard about SPACEROCK before finally signing up. So glad I did! I’ve been missing out for years! We’ll definitely be back next year. The vibes were out of this world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Great race as always, well organized!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n It’s heartbreaking views and harder race I ever participated.the volunteers were helpful . I will do it again<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n A challenging race that definitely boost your soul!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Wow did those hills suck…sign me up for next year! Such a fun and challenging race that is bolstered by the amazing swag, aid stations, and volunteers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This is my first time doing this race, and I was pretty impressed overall!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Strenuous trail with natural obstacles such as, sand, grass, dirt, small and big rocks, hills and slippery downhills. And of course, the scenery is magical. Next-to-last, great race volunteers! Thank you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The addition of the 15k course was the perfect challenge for someone like me who is on her way to the half!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The course was beautiful and very challenging, lots of hills. Definitely must watch your footing!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This was by far the hardest Half marathon I have ever done. Such a challenge, but so much fun!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Train! Train for hills. It’s a beautiful but brutal course. Nearly 14 miles, with about 5 on PCT. Cool swag!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n SPACEROCK is a great race, and is put on by great people.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n It was a very well run race and a challenging course. Normally this quality of production is found at much longer events so I was very pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n After running SPACEROCK each year, sometimes 10K, others 5K, and even the virtual, each time it has been an experience I can’t wait to do again. This year, not far off of knee surgery, it was more like rehab time, and even so, I would do it all over again, even with the balance issues. YES!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n It is a great experience!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Just an incredible run throughout a beautiful place. The staff and crew were out of this world. First class all the way. My 4th years in a row and will be back next year of course!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This race venue is out of this world, no pun intended, lol .. the whole event was fabulous, it ran unbelievably smoothly, everybody was unbelievably nice it was just a really great morning.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Loved the course! Challenging but fun. Also the medal is so fun!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Had so much fun! Best trail run so far!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n My first 5k Trail\/Run Walk and thoroughly enjoyed the course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I race trail and OCR Races many times a month, and I have to say that you all put on some of the most challenging races I have ever done. Great staff, volunteers, and swag!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I have run every race since the inaugural race. This year’s 10K was a butt kicking race! Single track and technical. I liked it. It was fun to know what was coming on the second loop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The SPACEROCK trail, it’s difficult and challenging. It’s an extra ordinary marathon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n By far my favorite race, it’s so challenging but so fun & rewarding. I love the volunteers and love the course. Everyone, runners and volunteers alike, are so kind and happy. The whole process, from getting your gear to finishing the race and follow up emails & photos are just amazing and makes me want to come back year after year!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Spacerock Trail Race is no joke. This is not a casual race to just get out there and run. You NEED training and you NEED strength to climb. But it was the most fun and welcoming race I have ever done. I felt like part of a race family and it was my first time ever. Each volunteer was extremely supportive. The course is very well marked and the aid stations are very nourishing. Very well put together race and super informative emails sent leading up to race day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This was my first time running Spacerock Half Marathon and it did not disappoint!!! It was everything I was expecting and then some. Beautiful location, VERY challenging and great people and am looking forward to next year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Everything about this race was right. Well organized, easy parking, great course and beautiful scenery. Loved it!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Great race! The scenery was beautiful. Very difficult hill climbs but worth it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Spacerock gives you a majestically feeling as if you are in Nirvana!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Finally got the chance to run SPACEROCK Trail Race Wow.wow.wow. So challenging – the climbing was intense! But at the same time, it was gorgeous with such interesting terrain. And there was some downhill single track that was a blast! I highly recommend this race .<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Epic trail run. Challenging terrain and beautiful rock formations everywhere you look. Those last 2 miles hit like a mo fo… It ain’t over till a dancing dinosaur gives you a high five!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Having climbed those hills the past 3 races, I volunteered this year as I regularly volunteer at Valencia and thought I would see how things went at Spacerock from the other side. I had a twinge of jealousy as the runners came across the finish line. But the volunteers I met and the excitement as I was able to cheer on the runners were more than enough to overcome that twinge. New Global Adventures puts on the best races and I look forward to being a part of them for many years to come, both behind the scenes and on the trails.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I mean, homemade mini-cookies after the Mega Hill? I’m already signing up for next year!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n If you’re looking to challenge yourself, then you’ve come to the right race. Steep hills, single track trails, dark tunnels, unpredictable weather…you need to come prepared for anything and everything!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n BRUTAL BUT FUN HALF MARATHON!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Fun, challenging course! Get out there and try this race!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This was my first time as a runner! Spacerock trail race made my first experience a wonderful time! It was incredible! Can’t wait for my next time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This was my 1st time running Spacerock, but it won’t be the last! It was an amazing time! The crew was absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, helpful, and motivating. The half-marathon was a challenging, but beautiful course. Thank you to all the crew!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Keep fighting up the hills!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This is a great event, and the course is very challenging.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Another super race! I haven’t missed one yet and have had a great time at every one!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Once again, a wonderfully well run, fun, and challenging race. Can always count on these guys to put on a great event!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Great race! I would definitely run it again. Hilly.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Once again, a wonderfully well run, fun, and challenging race. Can always count on these guys to put on a great event!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n The whole experience was amazing. The event was well organized and the volunteers were definitely out of this world. Can’t wait for next year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n My first trail race, and I’ve gotta say, it set the bar super high. Spectacular views. Friendly and helpful volunteers. Positive, supportive energy from other runners. Such Good Food!! Will absolutely be making this an annual part of my calendar. Thanks for putting on such a fun event!!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n This course made me earn this medal! It was tough, but great! The views were just amazing. I am so glad I did it and that I stopped to look up every now and then to take it all in.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Great race!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n I loved seeing runners of all ages and abilities out there giving it their best. Trail runners are some of the nicest people!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Had a great time. Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Race well run all runners seemed to be in a very happy mood. Course directions and sign were perfect.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Such an awesome vibe with incredible views.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Ridiculously challenging but immensely satisfying with great swag and great volunteers<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n A great trail race with amazing views.<\/p>\n We have received a lot of testimonials from past runners.
