Tuesday (7/5/2011) Running Route Description

On Tuesday, you will be logging between 4-7 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going. I've also included a verbal description beneath it:

TUESDAY'S RUN COURSE!

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TUESDAY'S RUN-

We will head north along the Marina to the intersection of Mason/Halleck. This is right next to Crissy Field Center and is 1 mile into our run. Everyone will follow the pedestrian crosswalk and turn LEFT onto Halleck.You will be running uphill for about a block until you reach a controlled intersection with a stop sign. This is the intersection of Halleck/Lincoln.

Take a quick LEFT across the pedestrian crosswalk and then an IMMEDIATE RIGHT across the pedestrian crosswalk onto FUNSTON AVENUE

Continue running up Funston. You should see the Presidio YMCA on your left as you head up Funston. Continue up Funston for a few more blocks until you reach the intersection of Funston/Moraga.

Take a right on Moraga and take another RIGHT on Mesa Street. Follow Mesa back towards Halleck. (Mesa Street runs PARALLEL to Funston Ave.). You will follow Mesa until it runs into Lincoln. Head back down Halleck and head back to the monkey bars.

Once you reach the monkey bars you will have logged 3 MILES! Continue towards the Marina Safeway on the paved path and head up our favorite hill. Crest the hill and continue a bit further to the point where the hill starts to head DOWN. Beginner runners turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES!

Intermediate, Advanced and Race level runners head down the hill and into Aquatic Park. Intermediate runners will run to the end of Aquatic Park (there is a big cul-de-sac at the end of Aquatic Park). Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES!
