No matter which course you tackle, you’re likely going to see something you’ve never seen before. Or, venture onto a trail you’ve never been on before. You might do BOTH! That’s the kind of adventure run we’ve got lined up. We’ll spend some time on Lover’s Lane, the Coastal Trail, and parts of the Presidio unknown (to you). It’s pretty EPIC!
