Once again, we return to the Warming Hut (983 Marine Drive) for another adventure run and tackling our GRANDEST adventure run of the season. And, given the grand nature of this adventure, we have not TWO but THREE route options for you!

We have a ‘short’ route which is 5ish miles, we have an out/back 10.9ish mile route, AND if you want an the GRANDEST adventure, we’re offering a ‘return via Sausalito Ferry Route of 10.8ish miles!

This last option starts at the Warming Hut, ends in Sausalito, & you’ll need to hop on the Sausalito Ferry following the run which will take you back to the Embarcadero. FYI, there are ferries departing Sausalito for the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero on Saturday at 11:30, 1:25, 3:10, 5:00, & 6:55PM.

From here, you’ll need to find your way back to the Warming Hut (if you drove) or find your way back home! So, you’ll need to bring your phone & some cash/cards if you opt for this one.

Here’s a link to the course map for the 4ish mile route and the 10.9ish mile out/back routes….

Adventure Run 4.8ish/10.9ish mile out/back route

And, here’s a description for the 4ish mile route and the 10.9ish mile out/back routes….

• Head up Long Avenue from the Warming Hut and take an IMMEDIATE left to head towards LONG AVENUE. Long Avenue is effectively a short hill that heads up towards Lincoln.
• Everyone will head up Long Avenue along the shoulder until you reach a stop sign. This is LINCOLN. Take a right on to the paved cyclist/pedestrian path and follow this path to your right. Stick to this path as it heads towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure that you are on this path and NOT on Lincoln. You do not want to be running on Lincoln for this course.
• You will follow the path for roughly 1/2-3/4 of a mile. There will be a few points at which the path may fork, but stick to the MAIN path. You will soon see the Golden Gate Bridge approaching.
• You will reach a point where you can continue running and run underneath the bridge or take a hairpin LEFT and wind your way up to the pedestrian side of the bridge. You want to do the LATTER and turn left and head onto the pedestrian side of the bridge.
• Continue towards the North end of the bridge. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! THERE ARE TYPICALLY A REASONABLE NUMBER OF TOURISTS WHO AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION. BE SMART AND BE POLITE IF YOU NEED TO GET AROUND SOMEONE.
• Continue to the end of the bridge to the Visitor Center. This is 2.4 MILES. There are portapotties at the Visitor Center, and there may be water fountains available. But, I’ll also have a little aid station setup on the ‘other’ side of the bridge!
• Run underneath the bridge. There’s a funky little paved path that goes underneath the bridge and ends in a parking lot. The aid station will be set up here! If you’re going short, grab some aid, turn around, and head back the way you came for 5.1 miles!
• For those going LONG, you’ll head to the end of the parking lot and veer LEFT/DOWNHILL. At the bottom of this descent, you’ll continue running and merge with Moore Road (3.14 miles)
• Follow Moore Road to Center Road and veer RIGHT (3.34 miles)
• Follow Center Road to East Road and continue running past the Bay Area Discovery Museum (3.48 miles)
• Follow East Road to Alexander Ave and continue running on Alexander Ave into Sausalito (4.38 miles)
• Alexander briefly turns into South Street before running into Second Street. Turn RIGHT onto Second Street (4.66 miles).
• Follow Second Street to Richardson and turn RIGHT onto Richardson (4.86 miles). Richardson turns into Bridgeway. Continue running on Bridgeway until you reach Anchor Street. Turn RIGHT at Anchor Street and head into Gabrielson Park. Grab some water, throw back a GU, use the restrooms, turn around, and head back the way you came for 10.9ish miles!

Here’s a link to the course map for the 10.8ish mile return via Ferry Sausalito Ferry route…..

Make a pit stop, grab some water, throw back a GU, use the restrooms, etc if needed and continue running on Bridgeway through downtown Sausalito.
• You’ll run all the way to Mike’s Bikes (on your right at 7.34 miles). There is a water fountain just past Mike’s Bikes. Grab some water if you need to and continue running on the Mill Valley/Sausalito Path to the footbridge at Coyote Creek behind the Holiday Inn (8.27 miles). Turn around here and head back the way you came via the Mill Valley/Sausalito Path and Bridgeway.
• Follow Bridgeway all the way to the Equator Coffee at 1201 Bridgeway. Grab a coffee, pastry, relax, etc!
• Once you’re refueled/rehydrated, it’s a short walk from Equator to the Sausalito Ferry Building (.46 miles).

Again, there are ferries departing Sausalito for the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero on Saturday at 11:30, 1:25, 3:10, 5:00, & 6:55PM!
