Saturday Long Run Description (8/30/14)

On Saturday, you will be logging between 4-8 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going. I've also included a verbal description beneath it:

SATURDAY'S RUN COURSE!

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SATURDAY’S RUN-

We will head SOUTH along the Marina towards Fort Mason hill near the Marina Safeway. Crest this hill and head down into Aquatic Park. Run along the waterfront into Fisherman's Wharf. You will be on Jefferson.

Please keep a watchful eye for tourists, cyclists, and other traffic in Fisherman's Wharf. Continue running to the intersection of Jefferson/Powell. There is a large GAP store on the right.

Continue running along Jefferson which will eventually turn into the Embarcadero. At the intersection of Embarcadero & Bay there is a Hillstone restaurant on the right. This is 2 MILES. Beginner level runners will turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES.

Everyone else will continue along the Embarcadero. Upon reaching the intersection of Embarcadero and Green, you will have logged 2.5 MILES. Intermediate level runners will turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES.

Advanced and Race level runners will continue running along the Embarcadero. When you reach the MAIN entrance of the Ferry Building you will have logged 3 MILES. Advanced level runners will turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 6 MILES!

Race level runners will continue running along the Embarcadero. Right around the time the Embarcadero is turning into ‘King Street’ you will come to the intersection of Embarcadero/Townsend. Look for Pier 38 on your left. This is 4 MILES! Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 8 MILES!
