The race starts in downtown Mill Valley, CA, in front of the old train depot. After traversing a few blocks in Mill Valley’s downtown, runners climb 688 stairs, leading up the side of Mt Tamalpias, passing thru Muir Woods National Monument, Mt Tamalpias State Park and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Dipsea Trail is the most direct route connecting the town of Mill Valley, with the village of Stinson Beach, situated along the Pacific Coast. Mt. Tam reaches its apex around the top of Cardiac Hill, about 4.5 miles into the race.Among the challenges facing participants, are the Dipsea Trail’s uneven footing, single-track footpaths, and almost invariable steep terrain, featuring about 2,200 feet of elevation gain & loss over the course. The uniqueness of the Dipsea Race course owes largely to the opportunity for competitors to choose from any of several alternate routes on diverging and converging trails, adding a competitive premium for strategy, experience, and familiarity with the course.”- - -
