The Run

The Coastal Marin 50K is not a competitive race, but rather an adventure run open to all long-distance trail runners. The course is non-technical with moderately difficult climbs, and aid will be provided. It is perfect for first-time 50k runners looking for a supportive team-oriented event, as well as seasoned athletes looking to take a break from racing and hardcore training. Our route begins in Olema at the Bolinas Ridge trailhead, then heads south to Mt. Tamalpais and on to San Francisco. The stunning course hits all the classic trails of the Bay Area in a gorgeous uninterrupted chain: Bolinas Ridge, Coastal, Matt Davis, Dipsea, and Miwok, ending with a triumphant crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Admission into the run will be based on a few questions you'll need to answer during registration. You will not be charged until we review your answers and grant your entry into the run! Understand that this is done to ensure everybody's safety and enjoyment in one of the world's most beautiful ultras! Please be thorough and considerate when making your decision to sign up.

The Dirt

This is NOT a race! If you are looking for a timed event and would like to run fast, please visit our race page. We want to be social and enjoy the experience together so we ask that you run with the group as best as you can. If you leave the group and venture out to finish on your own, it violates the conditions of the permit and the insurance. Please don't be the one that puts yourself and the preservation of this amazing run in jeopardy.

This is NOT a hike! While it would make a lovely day stroll, we don't want this adventure to go past sunset. Please be prepared and ready to run a 50k.

While having run an ultra before is not a requirement, I do prefer that you have done at least one trail marathon. We are all dependent on mobile aid stations manned with informed volunteers as we move south towards San Francisco. Runners who are too slow will keep the vehicles from getting to it's next stop while runners who move too fast will not find aid when they need it. Finishing as a group will be hard but we can all stay close enough together and take time to enjoy the beauty of the course, chat with new friends, take some great photos and experience a great accomplishment.
