Saturday Long Run Course Map/Description (6/20/15)

We'll get things rolling with an easy 1/2 mile (approx) warmup run to Julius Kahn Park from A Runner's Mind (3575 Sacramento St). 

We'll do some range of motion drills in the park before starting the run.
 
Here's a link to the course map....

Here's a description of said course...


-We'll head WEST on the dirt trail and head uphill. We'll veer RIGHT onto Ecology Trail.
-Follow Ecology Trail until it dumps you into a parking lot. Continue running straight and turn LEFT onto Moraga.
-Continue on Moraga to the intersection of Moraga/Montgomery. Look for chalk arrows and the letters 'RC' along this stretch.
-Turn RIGHT on Montgomery until you reach Lincoln. 
-Turn LEFT on Lincoln. Continue running on Lincoln past the cemetery. 
-Look for chalk markings and veer RIGHT downhill on the paved path. 
-Continue on the paved path past the horse stables and continue running along Lincoln until you reach the intersection of Lincoln/Long.
-Make your way onto the paved pedestrian/bike path (aka-Battery Trail East) and head towards the Golden Gate Bridge.
-Get onto the pedestrian side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Shortly after the first tier of the bridge you will see a RC7 in chalk on the ground. Beginner runners turn around here and head back to Julius Kahn Park for 7 MILES!
-Everyone else will continue running across the bridge. 1/2 mile later just past the second tier of the bridge, you will see a RC8 in chalk on the ground. Intermediate runners turn around here and head back to Julius Kahn Park for 8 MILES!   
-Advanced and Race level runners will continue running across the bridge. Advanced level runners will turn around at the end of the bridge and head back to Julius Kahn Park for 9 MILES!   
-Race level runners will run through the parking lot and continue onto the trail that circles the visitor center. 
-The trail will intersect with Conzelman Road. Turn LEFT and head downhill. Follow Conzelman Road along the waterfront.
-Once you reach the intersection of Conzelman Road & Sommerville Road, turn around and head back to Julius Kahn for 11 MILES!
