Tuesday Marina/Presidio Run (3/11/14)

We're launching from outside of Presidio Sport & Medicine located at 1162B Gorgas Avenue. You'll be covering 2-5 miles depending upon your training level.

Here's a link to the course map-

Tuesday's Marina/Presidio Run Course Map.

We'll launch from outside Presidio Sport & Medicine and promptly take a LEFT turn on Girard Avenue. We'll follow Girard until we hit Lincoln. Turn RIGHT on Lincoln and continue running into the Presidio.

Continue running on Lincoln past the cemetery on your left. Shortly after passing the cemetery, you will see a paved bike path that veers right and downhill slightly. Follow this path (AKA-Patten Road). Shortly after you follow this path you will see a 'MM2' in chalk on the ground. Beginner runners will turn around here and head back to where we started for 2 MILES!

Everyone else will continue running along this path which eventually heads uphill and connects with Lincoln. Continue running on the sidewalk/paved path on Lincoln and eventually you will reach the intersection of Lincoln and Crissy Field Avenue. This is 1.5 MILES. Look for a 'MM3' in chalk on the ground. Intermediate will turn around here and head back to Presidio Sport & Medicine for 3 MILES!

Advanced and Race level runners will continue running on the paved path adjacent to Lincoln and veer left (and uphill) towards the Golden Gate Bridge. You will run around the perimeter of a gravel parking lot and the paved path will curve to the left. Continue running on this paved path towards the bridge. Eventually, you will take a hairpin LEFT turn to head towards the pedestrian side of the bridge. Right before you reach the entrance to the pedestrian side of the bridge, you'll see a 'MM4' in chalk on the ground. Advanced level runners will turn around here and head back to the start for 4 MILES!
 
Race level runners will make their way onto the pedestrian side (east side) of the Golden Gate Bridge. continue running until you see a MM5 in chalk on the sidewalk just past the first tier/pillar of the bridge. Turn around here and head back to the start for 5 MILES!
