SFRC Women's Trail Half Marathon presented by The North Face
The event is a women's trail half marathon in the Marin Headlands near Mill Valley, California. The course covers 13.6 miles with 2,156 feet of climbing and includes two major Headlands climbs, rolling singletrack, and coastal ridgelines with views of the Pacific, San Francisco Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. A 5.5 hour cutoff is applied on course.
Four aid stations are placed along the route and will offer Skratch Labs hydration, Maurten gels, and a variety of real food options. Menstrual products will be available at all aid stations. Dogs are not permitted on the course because it runs through a National Recreation Area.
Organizational support includes a partnership with a coaching provider that supplies a training plan, three live virtual coaching sessions, a complimentary one-on-one consultation, and a discount code for follow up individual coaching. SFRC will host four no-drop community group runs led by Trail Sisters of Marin; The North Face demo shoes and sponsor nutrition will be available at those runs. Chartered shuttle transportation is offered for runners traveling from San Francisco.
SFRC will provide twenty childcare grants of $250 each for participating mothers and offers a one-time pregnancy and postpartum deferral when requested at least 14 days before race day. The event carries a total prize purse of $25,000, with the top prizes including $10,000 for first and $5,000 for second. Packet pickup takes place at San Francisco Running Company in Mill Valley on the two days before the race. Post race gathering is at The Junction in Mill Valley.
