Trail Running Film Festival 2025 presented by Running Riot

The Trail Running Film Festival is back on tour and returning to Santa Cruz for a great night of films, inspiration, and community. Come explore our collective and individual potential, and let's pursue our wildest dreams. We’re excited to bring you stories from around the world by filmmakers sharing their work of adventure, inclusivity, wilderness, art, and diversity across the trail and ultra community.

Plus we will have some very cool raffle prizes!

6:20 PM - Doors open.

Pre-purchased ticket holders can check-in and receive raffle tickets for race entries and merchandise prizes. Same-day tickets sales will be available (Cash Preferred).

7:00 PM - Start of show.
Grab a seat for a brief introduction and then on with the show!

7:55 PM - Intermission.
Take this time for some self-guided dynamic stretching or a visit to refill your beer. But hurry back because this is no ordinary intermission. While the films are paused, there will be a QR code on screen, which will enter participants into a second raffle to win prizes from our global sponsors.

8:15 PM - Start of second half.
We'll start up the second half of the main program.
9:00 PM - End of the show.
As the credits roll I'll announce the winners of the local raffle. Merchandise prizes can be picked up on the way out of the theater. Race entry prizes can be coordinated through race organizations.

We look forward to seeing you and thank you for supporting us as we bring these films to Santa Cruz
