A long run that will give you a feeling of accomplishment, this loop starts in the Santa Rosa valley and takes you through Thousand Oaks. Flat with rolling ups and downs for the first three miles, the run goes first through the Wildwood and Hill Canyons. Then, up a short hill to the streets of Thousand Oaks. For several miles, roll through TO before getting back on the trails of the Wildwood open space to head back towards Santa Rosa. A long, rolling section of hills before you hit the downhills of Box Canyon, to the right of Lizard Rock. The entirety of the run is even terrain, wide enough for 2 or more runners.
Down box canyon, a quick block around a neighborhood and you'll be heading back through the open fields toward your car.
