Confirmed from Madrugada Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Well kept, clean trail, surrounded by many trees. One of the best trail in Chino Hills! The up-hill slope of trail is good for strengthening muscles of legs. Just one mile one way with a drinking fountain and a few steel exercise equipments. And there are dirt trails along the paved.
Madrugada Trail runs parallel to Grand Avenue, starting at Madrugada Drive, crossing Calle San Marcos, and ending at the southwest corner of Peyton Road and Grand Avenue. It’s a peaceful, open path with simple scenery that helps you clear your mind and reset at your own pace.
