Description: A unique course that starts with an "infamous' climb of 676 stairs in 3 sections out of Mill Valley, then winds through the redwoods of Muir Woods, over the brush covered slopes of Mt. Tamalpais and descends to the turnaround at Stinson Beach. Along the way, on a clear day, one is rewarded with breathtaking views of the Pacific coastline and the opportunity to see the lead runners as they head back to Mill Valley. Trail surface is generally good with some roots, rock and most likely several muddy sections.
