This adventure run includes bison, a few lakes, trails, an OCEAN, and some quality time on the Great Highway. In short, this is a decidedly ‘Golden Gate Park’ flavored adventure run.

We get rolling at the Beach Chalet (1000 Great Highway). My car will be available for storing personal items. I’ll also have beverages and snacks for post run festivities.

I’ll also be ‘popping up’ an aid station at JFK/Transverse once we get rolling complete with Nuun and (perhaps?) some GU Energy products!
