Inside Trail is proud to showcase this event.  Meticulous effort went into the design of the 50k and 50 mile courses.  They are challenging (50 Mile has over 10,000 ft climb) and beautiful.  Every step of the race is run on fresh ground with no overlapping.  Jim Vernon from The Endurables spent hours and weekends developing this custom, brand new course and we are super excited to show it off.  In fact, we’re so excited, we are offering a little chunk of prize money!!  In the 50 mile race:  Male/Female 1st-$250, 2nd-$150, 3rd-$100, along with special awards for both distances and age groups.

With La Sportiva as our 2013 partner and Suunto and Hydrapak as our Marin Ultra Challenge sponsors, we will be giving away two free La Sportiva shoes and A LOT of Hydrapak gear, including the E-Lite Vest, Soft Flasks, and water bottles, along with other special raffle awards. Suunto is providing an Ambit GPS watch to each of the overall winners (male & female) in both the 50K and 50 Mile.

Starting just steps away from historic Fort Baker, in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, runners may fill their lungs with fresh salt air before embarking on a journey through some of the best trails the Marin Headlands has to offer, including the beautiful views of Coastal Trail and the inland buffed single track of the Miwok. You’ll travel along the coast, by Pirate’s Cove, to Muir Beach. From there, you’ll quietly pass through the Zen center and up the incredible new Middle Green Gulch hill. Your journey will ultimately end with amazing vistas of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge from the SCA and Coastal trails… all the way back to the finish at Cavallo Point. Aid stations will be packed with all the goodies you love, plus a generous helping of delicious Clif Products!

We’re capping the race at 300 people.  So, register early!

Drop bags will be allowed at the Tennessee Valley aid station, which you’ll pass through multiple times. Drop bags must be dropped off race morning at the start/finish no later than 5:45AM. Bags must be smaller than a shoe box; any bags larger than a shoe box will be ridiculed and left behind for the Race Director to claim as his new personal belongings.

Pacers in the 50 Mile race will be allowed at the half way point. Pacers may not carry (mule) anything for the runner or assist in his/her progress (push, pull, drag…).
