The race starts and ends in the town of Stinson Beach. Almost all of the course is on fire roads and single-track trails, first to the south of Stinson Beach and then to the north. Runners climb a total of approximately 11,800 feet (3,600 m).[1]
The race begins at 5:00 A.M. The overall time limit for the race is 15 hours, 30 minutes.[2]
The race, created by Kellie Sheehan and directed since 2004 by Tia Bodington, has been held every year since 1996, when it was known as the "What? Mi-Wok? Trail 100K", its name through 1999. The event was shortened to 60K for 2013 due to fire restriction trail closures in the Mount Tamalpais area.[3] 300 to 400 runners have started the race each year since 2008. The course record (Rodeo Beach course) of 7 hours, 53 minutes, 19 seconds was set by Dave Mackey in 2008. The women's course record of 8 hours, 55 minutes, 49 seconds was set by Ann Trason in 2001.[4]
