Starting just steps away from historic Fort Cronkhite, a preserved WWII mobilization post, and the dark sands of Rodeo Beach, this trail race includes steep pitches and lofty downhill sections as it undulates the beautiful Marin Headlands hills and coastline. Coastal trail and Pirates cove offer astonishing views of the Pacific ocean as well as glimpses of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge along the SCA. As part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the Marin Headlands is rich with wildlife and during the fall is the site of raptor migration. With distances of 8k, 20k, 30k, and 50k there is a race to challenge and appreciate all running abilities and a scenery that will make even the most curse-worthy climb more benign.
