Race Information
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-$175, 3rd-$75, along with special awards for both distances and age groups.
With La Sportiva as our 2012 partner and Hydrapak as our ITR Challenge sponsor, we will be giving away two free La Sportiva shoes and A LOT of Hydrapak gear, including the E-Lite Vest, Soft Flasks, and Gel-Bots, along with other special raffle awards.
Starting just steps away from historic Fort Cronkhite and the dark sands of Rodeo Beach, just a small part of Golden Gate National Recreation, 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. Continue your tour of the Pacific Coast by venturing on and up Mt. Tamalpais and take in the views of Stinson Beach and the vast coastline. You’ll visit Muir Woods before returning to the Headlands where you will end your journey with amazing vistas of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Aid stations will be packed with all the goodies you love, plus a generous helping of delicious Clif Poducts! With distances of 50K and 50 Miles there is a race to match and challenge all abilities.
We’re capping the race at 350 people. This event will fill fast, so register early!
