The John Lawson Tamalpa Challenge


Part of the PAUSATF Cross-Country race series



Race Date and Start Times

October 29, 2011

Location

The race will be held on the same course as in 2009 in Rodeo Valley in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

We have designed a 4.25 mile course that will be completely on fire roads with one graded raise of 400 feet in a mile. This is a spectacularly beautiful area and will be a great race.

Parking is extremely limited. Please carpool to the greatest extent possible. Almost all racers will have to park at the beach area parking lot, which is about 0.5 mile from the start. Again, please car pool.
