Tuesday Marina Route Map/Description (9/29/15)

On Tuesday, you will be logging between 4-7 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:

TUESDAY'S RUN COURSE!

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TUESDAY'S RUN-

In short, we will head NORTH from the Marina Green Monkey Bars along Marina Boulevard. Once we reach the intersection of Mason/Halleck (in front of Crissy Field Center), we will have logged a mile.

Continue running along the paved path past Sports Basement. Once we're passed Sports Basement, the path will curve to the left slightly. Roughly a 1/4 mile from here you will see a silver metal box on the right side of the path. This is 1.5 miles.

Continue running along the paved path. The path will eventually curve to the right and intersect with a dirt path. Follow the dirt path to the Warming Hut. For the uninitiated, the Warming Hut is A BIG WHITE BUILDING WITH TABLES AND BENCHES IN FRONT OF IT. It's hard to miss The Warming Hut.

Once you reach the Warming Hut, you will have logged 2 MILES! Beginner level runners will turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES!

Everyone else will continue past the Warming Hut onto a paved road that goes past a series of buildings (including some restrooms). You will pass these buildings and continue running along this path next to the water towards the base of the bridge.

The path curves around and dead ends at 'Hoppers Hands'. This is 2.5 MILES.  Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars. Intermediate runners are done once they get back to the Monkey Bars for 5 MILES!

Advanced and Race level runners will continue running SOUTH along the paved path past the Marina Safeway and UP Fort Mason Hill. Upon cresting the hill, Advanced level runners will turn around and head back to the Marina Green Monkey Bars for 6 MILES!

Race level runners will head down Fort Mason Hill and into Aquatic Park. Run along the sidewalk adjacent to the waterfront. You will turn around At the end of Aquatic Park/Edge of Fisherman’s Wharf. Return to the monkey bars for 7 MILES!
