Description

It’s no wonder this is one of the most popular venues in trail running.  It offers amazing views of the coast, primordial vegetation and giant old-growth redwood trees, crystal steams and pools.  The run begins on Stinson Beach before continuing to Mt Tamalpais, the famous Dipsea trail, enters Muir Woods National Monument, and the roar of the ocean calls you back to the finish area.
