Race Information


Mt. Tamalpais is the dominating feature in Marin County.  Any true trail runner who sees it wants to run up it.  Here’s your chance.  Our Mt. Tam Trail Run begins at Stinson Beach and climbs (and climbs!) to perched views from Tam before returning via some of the best trails the Headlands have to offer until reaching the beach and bountiful post race food.  Bring the family and enjoy an afternoon with friends in the sand and surf.

Aid Station Distances

50K Cutoff Times

At Inside Trail Racing aid stations it’s like an all you can eat buffet, but this is a race, so don’t linger too long! Expect to find variety at our aid stations, including sweet and salty offerings like trail mix, pretzels, cookies, boiled potatoes with salt for dipping, regular soda, water (of course!), elecrolyte drink, PB&J finger sandwiches, gummy bears, salt tablets, you get the idea. There will also be general first aid items but no anti-inflamatory medicine. We strongly encourage you to carry at least one 20oz bottle from which to sip while you enjoy your run.

    Barb…we will be near here for this one, if interested…half or 10K????

  • Jeff

    Course details? Would love to plan for this one (loved the Marin 50k, btw)

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      Jeff – We will have the map available shortly, just working to finalize trails and road crossings with the park. Expect to hit the highlights that Tam has to offer… Steep Ravine, Dipsea, a quick jaunt through Muir Woods, etc…

    I am planning on running this for petapack. This will be my first distance race. In college, i ran short distances….really excited!

  • http://www.facebook.com/kimberly.osborne.372 Kimberly Osborne

    I’m from Toronto and planning on doing the 30K course while in San Francisco on vacation. Can tell me what to expect in terms of trail type? Is it paved, packed gravel, mud, etc…I need to know whether I can wear my regular runners or should have trail shoes.
    I’m so looking forward to it!

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      The course is ~98% dirt single-track trail with some rocky, technical sections. The climb up Steep Ravine has a 12′ “ladder” you will have to climb… the descent on Dipsea back to Stinson Beach has a good number of steps. I recommend trail shoes for this one!

  • JimS

    Any idea what the vertical gain on the 50k will be?

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      Putting the elevation charts together now. It’ll be a hilly one… About 7,200′ of pain… I mean gain.

  • jonathanfales

    On the 50k… the distances between aid stations seem rather long. Anyone have a guesstimate???

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      Jonathan – We have distance details for aid stations available on the “Course Information” tab. The longest stretch between aid is about 6.5 miles.

      • jonathanfales

        Thanks Tim. Cant wait to run it. I will do a race feature on my blog in the week leading up to this race and then a report on the race in the week after we run it.

  • Lindsay

    I’d like to run this race but I’d be coming in from out of town…. any advice on hotels,etc? And where exactly to go when at Stinson Beach to find race start?

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      Lindsay – Check on availability at the Tam Woods Hotel in Mill Valley (it used be the Larkspur Hotel). It is about as close as you will get to the S/F area in Stinson Beach. There are a couple place in Stinson, but I don’t really know anything about them. As for where to go… The Start/Finish is in the Stinson Beach Day Use area… Just follow the signs when you get into Stinson.

  • Just Run Baby

    Coming from Silicon Valley what is the best way to get to the starting point ;)

    Hi,

    Was wondering where the best place to park would be?

    Thanks!

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      The Start/Finish area is in the Stinson Beach Day Use parking area. Just follow the signs once you get in to Stinson on Highway 1.

    Can anyone give me a ride to the race from San Francisco or Berkeley? I promise to provide interesting conversation and buy you a post-race lunch!

    • http://www.insidetrail.com/ Tim Stahler

      Hey, Lucas… try posting on our Facebook page… You have a bit more luck finding someone… There should be plenty of people coming from SF that could help out.

      Tim
