Course |
The course follows along the currently available portions of David's Trail. The entire 50K route spans from Robinson Point Park, through Panther Bay Park, across the Hwy 101 Bridge, turn left at Bidwell Park, then north west on the trail past Take It Easy Resort for several miles. This follows all the points on this map. The 25K is the 7K course plus the out-and-back to the Panther Bay aid station. The 7K is contained within the blue circle.
We like to think of the course in terms of phases. Phase 1: The 7k loop - all runners will complete Phase 1 Phase 2: Out to Panther Bay (completed by 25K & 50K) Phase 3: Across the 101 Bridge, northbond to the turn-around (completed by 50K) Phase 4: Southbound and back over the 101 Bridge (completed by 50K) Phase 5: Panther Bay and back to Rocking Chair Resort (completed by 25K and 50K) There is over 2,400 feet in elevation gain along the 25K and 5,000 during the 50K while the 7K offers scenic and challenging terrain through the older portions of David's Trail. |
