Wildcard Run (Reach For The Beach, 4 or 6 mile trail run)-07/18/19

For tonight’s run, we’ll dial back the effort with a wildcard favorite. The route itself is a simple one – we’ll be running through Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach and back, including four miles of well-groomed and non-technical trails. You may choose a 4 or 6 mile option. Cya tonight!

Route:


Please review the course map. This is a simple out and back, east to west/west to east course.

Directions:
-Exiting the stadium’s west entrance, turn right and cross Kezar Drive at the traffic light.
-Head into Golden Gate Park on MLK Jr Drive.
-MLK will intersect Bowling Green Drive just shortly after we enter the park. Cross over Bowling Green and turn left to stay on MLK.
-Continue on the right side paved path on MLK all the way to 19th Ave/Crossover Drive. This is a multi-lane traffic light controlled intersection.
-Cross safely through the intersection and continue on MLK.
-Immediately thereafter, MLK will intersect with Transverse Dr (right side).
-Make a LEFT here at the pedestrian crosswalk to transition over to the paved path on the left side of MLK.
-After crossing MLK turn right and immediately look for a dirt trail entrance on your left. We’ll try to put some chalk down here for you.
-You’ll run along this trail until its very end. It runs parallel and in-between Lincoln Way (on the left) and MLK (on the right). You’ll cross over 25th Avenue at Lincoln Way, Sunset Blvd (4 mile turnaround), and Chain of Lakes Drive.
-The trail ends at Lincoln Drive and MLK Jr. Drive. Continue west to the Great Highway, cross over the Great Highway at the stoplight, and run up the dunes to greet the Pacific Ocean. A great spot for views and pics before heading back the way you came to Kezar Stadium.

Enjoy!
