Join us for this amazing race through ten of the most beautiful, urban forest kilometers in the United States. The course is a rolling 6.2 mile loop with incredible scenery and approximately 600 feet of climbing. The race starts at the end of Barnard Avenue and traverses through the El Polin Spring area via the Lower Ecology trail. You will then follow the Bay Area Ridge trail past Andy Goldsworthy's Spire and eventually past the Rob Hill Campground where you will turn south and follow the historic Juan Bautista de Anza trail towards the Marine Cemetary Vista. The course then meets up with the Park Trail where it goes uphill towards the golf course and meets back up with the Bay Area Ridge trail as you head back to the start/finish area at Barnard Avenue.
