We’re a far cry from 1967 when Kathrine Switzer broke the gender boundaries at the Boston Marathon.  Now, Women make up a huge portion of running events and the running industry is thrilled about it!  To celebrate the positive impact women have had on running and the empowering effect running has had for women, we are putting on a day for the ladies on the trails.

The Skirt and Dirt Trail Run is the second race in the She Rocks The Trails Women’s Trail Event Series with NorCalUltras.  The all-female event starts and finishes in Joaquin Miller Park. The ladies own the trails where they may take in the views of San Francisco from the twisting ridge line trails of Joaquin Miller. The 25K and 50K will then cross over into neighboring Redwood Regional Park, where they will be greeted by towering redwoods that silently spectate and provide shade they provide to the constantly undulating course. The redwoods share the park with the organic curves of tall eucalyptus, blending to create a true trail running experience where you may leave behind the stresses of the daily grind and enjoy the mix of solitude and camaraderie with like-minded runners. The course gives you a taste of some the rarely used single-track trails that will meet you with everything from twisty, rocky paths to dense, moss covered forest. This event will leave you with a new appreciation for these gems located within the city of Oakland.

All registered runners will receive a Sport-Tek Competitor technical fabric shirt. The lightweight and silky Competitor Tee has a roomy, athletic cut and controls sweat like a champ. Shirts run true to size and feature the following:
