Course and logistics
Courses run on the dirt trails of Montara Mountain and surrounding coastal foothills. Most of the route is moderately technical single-track with some fire road sections and sustained climbs that offer views of the coastline. Hiking or trekking poles are permitted.
The event is chip timed with disposable chips attached to the back of each bib. Aid stations offer energy gels, chews, Stroopwafels, PB&J, trail mix, salty snacks, water, sports drink, and general first aid items (no anti-inflammatory medicine). The race is cupless; runners must carry their own bottle or reusable cup. Drop bag service is not available. Course markings use colored ribbon, laminated signs, and flour arrows at critical sections. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
