"Beautiful- but sparse on aid stations" (about: 2012)

1 previous marathon | 1 Muir Woods Trail Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 3


It was an absolutely beautiful run- we ran the reworked course due to a mudslide, but I thought it was incredible- very challenging (Over a mile in elevation gain alone)- there were ladders and bridges, logs to hop over and duck under, and plenty of stairs. I wouldn't recommend it if you have joint issues. But still incredibly beautiful with continuous scenery changes, one moment you're by a river in the redwoods, the next you have a 270 degree view of the bay- incredible.
I would like to see more aid stations though- there were a few stretches that really hurt and there were no aid stations in sight- otherwise very kind and helpful staff, just not enough appropriate food (GU would be nice)

"Ouch...it's a tough one" (about: 2012)

11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


What a great but very tough marathon. Tougher than Big Sur and even the 50 I ran last year.

It's a beautiful run...on clear days you have great views of the Pacific and the run through the redwoods was fantastic. It's tough....lots of long, slow hills with elevation changes over 1200 ft...lots of switchbacks and it's humbling, but still good.

Dave really knows how to put on a great race. Best part is the free beer afterwards!

It's a small race....60 or so marathoners, but there s also a half and 7 miler.

Crowd support is slim, but it's a trail run and that's to be expected. The volunteers were the best....Thank You.
