Diablo National Park
The homeland of Nomadic Adventure Club, the starting point of many of our adventures, and the foundation of success for our runners and hikers. We are extremely excited to host our first-ever public challenge in the magnificent Diablo Mountain, which continues to provide us with endless opportunities. As one of Northern California’s most iconic peaks, Diablo offers breathtaking 360° views of the Bay Area, making it an unforgettable summit experience.
Why This Challenge?
Our club's near-term goal is to encourage more people to explore ultra running and trail running and to experience the physical and mental benefits it brings. However, the true foundation of our community lies in mountain hiking, which is why we have chosen this route—to embrace both running and hiking in a single experience.
The starting point is Mitchell Canyon Road, with a total course length of 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) and an elevation gain of 3,280 feet (1,000 meters). The route is simple yet challenging, incorporating the key elements of both mountain hiking and trail running. Ascending to the summit and returning along the same path.
At the summit, the "NOMADIC AID STATION" will be set up to provide water and drinks for runners and hikers. Upon returning to the start, a traditional Nomadic hot meal and drinks will be waiting for you!

Nomadic 5K Annual Run Summary
The 9th Annual 5K Trail Run hosted by the Nomadic Adventure Club was an exceptional day filled with community spirit, culture, and joy. With over 170 runners participating from Ultrasignup.com and walk-in registrations, this year’s event marked the largest turnout in the event's nine-year history. The use of bibs for the first time added a new layer of excitement, enhancing the professional feel of the race.
The post-race festivities were vibrant, starting with a captivating performance by Mongolian dancers showcasing traditional dance. The highlight of the celebration was the hot stone barbecue of a whole lamb, known as "Khorkhog," a cherished Mongolian dish. This meal, accompanied by a variety of side dishes prepared by the talented Nomadic ladies, delighted all attendees. A special thanks goes to the Nomadic men for cooking two whole lambs, ensuring everyone was well-fed. The event provided an incredible spread of food, drinks, and snacks, all free for participants and guests.
The day continued with lively activities, including a volleyball tournament, where winners received REI gift cards. Music, traditional games, and cultural performances added to the day's vibrant atmosphere, making it a memorable experience for families, friends, and new runners alike.
