From Coach Toby.....

Whether cooling your jets from a weekend of racing in Honolulu or with Krampus in the Presidio, or you are well rested and looking for a quality workout to increase strength and endurance, tonight’s wildcard is for you.

This four miler includes park, city streets, and a short trail diversion at Tank Hill to capture a nighttime panoramic view of the city. Headlamps a must! And cha ching. You’ll also add almost 500 feet to your weekly climbing totals.
