Race Information
We’re a far cry from 1967 when Kathrine
Switzer slashed through the gender boundaries at the Boston Marathon.
Now, Women make up a significant percentage 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 trail race dedicated to the ladies.
The Skirt ‘n’ Dirt Trail Run may be devoted to the ladies, but we didn’t want to ban men from the fun. The Stud ‘n’ Mud Trail Chase 25K
will start shortly after the Skirt ‘n’ Dirt 25K & 50K. Spend your
day on the trails chasing down the girls… what else would you need for
motivation? Special awards will go to the top 3 men: our skirt-chaser
extraordinaires. The Stud ‘n’ Mud event starts and finishes in Redwood
Regional Park, where runners will be greeted by towering redwoods that
silently spectate and provide shade to the constantly undulating course.
The redwoods share the park with vociferous and towering eucalyptus,
together creating a true trail running experience where all of your
senses are engaged and the heavy anchor of the cumbersome daily grind is
lifted–a wonderful mix of solitude and camaraderie with like-minded
runners. The course will give 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 this gem located within the city of Oakland.
For the ladies, check out our Skirt ‘n’ Dirt Trail Run. Show those men who really owns the trail!

Aid Stations
At Inside Trail Racing aid stations it’s like an all you can eat buffet,
but this is a race, so don’t linger too long! Expect to find variety at
our aid stations, including sweet and salty offerings like trail mix,
pretzels, cookies, boiled potatoes with salt for dipping, regular soda,
water (of course!), elecrolyte drink, PB&J finger sandwiches, gummy
bears, salt tablets, you get the idea. There will also be general first
aid items but no anti-inflamatory medicine. We strongly encourage you to
carry at least one 20oz bottle from which to sip while you enjoy your
run.
