Sunday Recovery Run Course Description (3/30/14)

On Sunday, we log our final recovery run of the season from the Marina Green Monkey Bars (adjacent to Marina/Webster). Everyone is logging six miles.

Sunday Recovery Run Course Map

We will head NORTH from the Marina Green Monkey Bars on along Marina Boulevard for roughly 1/2 mile until we reach the grassy, volleyball court area on the right. Take a right and cut through the volleyball court area and run through the parking lot behind it. Turn LEFT onto the Marina Promenade which is a fire road/dirt trail.

Continue running on this path for roughly a mile. Eventually, this path will veer to the right towards the Warming Hut. Continue running towards the Warming Hut. For the uninitiated, the Warming Hut is A BIG WHITE BUILDING WITH TABLES AND BENCHES IN FRONT OF IT. Hopefully, it will be hard to miss). The Warming Hut is 2 MILES. (*Note-there are water fountains/restrooms adjacent to the Warming Hut.)

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.

Once you get back to the monkey bars continue running SOUTH along the paved path past the Marina Safeway and UP Fort Mason Hill. Crest this hill and run to the point where the path starts to head down towards Aquatic Park and then return to the monkey bars for 6 MILES!
