Race Information
The event starts at Miwok Meadows in China Camp State park in nearby San Rafael, just up the 101 from San Francisco. Enjoy your choice of 5k, 10k or half marathon distances over varied terrain. Yes there's a bit of climbing to contend with on the course but it's worth the challenge, not to mention epic Bay Area views. You'll find aid stations on the course and tasty beer after the run... as this event is not JUST a trail race, it's a BREWFEST (including a custom beer sample glass and FOUR beers to sample).
