New trail runners will find this a great beginning. Experienced runners might appreciate the near perfect environment for a PR. Perhaps, everyone will enjoy the tranquil beach, wild bird refuge and the seals playing offshore. All distances start and end on the beach. The 5K is completely on the beach and shoes are optional. Absolutely worth the drive. Limited to just 200 total runners. The beach is 45 minutes from 101.

This is by far the flattest course in our series. There is 200 ft of elevation gain in the 10K. The 1/2 marathon is double out and back with 400 ft of gain and about one mile on the beach.

The Limantor Marsh offers opportunities to catch a glimse of the local wild life during the run.

Point Reyes National Seashore contains unique elements of biological and historical interest in a spectacularly scenic panorama of thunderous ocean breakers, open grasslands, bushy hillsides and forested ridges. Native land mammals number about 37 species and marine mammals augment this total by another dozen species. The biological diversity stems from a favorable location in the middle of California and the natural occurrence of many distinct habitats. Nearly 20% of the State’s flowering plant species are represented on the peninsula and over 45% of the bird species in North America have been sighted.
