While this run is ‘just’ 3.7 miles, it’s a MIGHTY 3.7 miles that includes trails, hills, some amazing views, and a veritable tour of the Presidio. The only thing this one is missing is a bag of chips 😉
Here’s a link to the Strava course map (I recommend loading/using this map)….

We will do our best to mark this course with chalk (paved roads/trails) and flour (trail segments), but PLEASE REVIEW THE MAP AND COURSE DESCRIPTION!
If possible, load the Strava map and use it while running to help you navigate.
