Mt Burdell (Lower Slopes) |
~5.1 Mi |
Results - Hide Race Details
Course: The course is all on trails or fire roads and is a counter clockwise loop on the
southern face of Mt Burdell. There will be some climbing, but nothing extreme. You will
see cows, hidden lakes and secluded vales in the middle of the mountain. The last 1.5 miles
are downhill (which must mean that there are up hills in the beginning). The views are
spectacular, both of the wildflower fields you will pass through and of Marin.
Directions: Hwy 101 to San Marin Drive exit, west about 1.3 miles to San Andreas Drive,
right up the hill about 1/2 mile, park near the trail head. Novato. No bathrooms near the
start of the race, so plan accordingly. An Open House Potluck will be held at Edda and
Bernie’s home following the race. They live at 76 San Domingo Way, just southeast of the
course. All are welcome. No pets, please.
