Saturday Long Run (12/27/15)

We're logging 8-12 miles on Saturday starting from the Marina Green Monkey Bars. 

Take a look at the course map below...

Saturday Long Run Course Map

We'll head towards Sports Basement via the paved path from the Marina.
 
Roughly half a mile past Sports Basement you will reach the intersection of Mason/Crissy Field Ave. Turn LEFT (look for the ‘MM’ in chalk) and head up McDowell Avenue.
 

Run to the intersection of McDowell/Lincoln (this is a controlled intersection w/stop signs)
 

Run directly across the street into ‘Park Trail’ (there is signage). Follow Park Trail LEFT and continue to Amatury Loop (look for signs). Take a RIGHT on Bay Area Ridge Trail at Amatury Loop and cross Park Blvd on Bay Area Ridge Trail.

Follow Bay Area Ridge Trail until you reach Rob Hill Campground (on your left). Follow the paved path until you run into Washington Boulevard. Turn around here and head back the way you came. Once you reach the Marina Green Monkey Bars you will have logged 6.5 miles.

Follow the paved path towards the Marina Safeway and up Fort Mason Hill. Crest the hill and head down the other side. Beginner runners will turn around once you've reached the bottom of the hill and head back to the monkey bars for 8 MILES!

Everyone else will continue running through Aquatic Park towards Fisherman's Wharf via Jefferson Street. Intermediate runners will turn around at Jefferson/Leavenworth and head back to the monkey bars for 9 MILES!

Advanced and Race level runners continue on Jefferson through Fisherman's Wharf. Advanced runners will turn around at Jefferson/Grant (across from Aquarium of the Bay) and head back to the monkey bars for 10 MILES!

Race level runners will continue on Jefferson and onto the Embarcadero. Continue running until you just past Embarcadero/Broadway. Look for Pier 7 on your left. Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 12 MILES!
