This is one of Tamalpa's Special Races. Learn all about the history and details of the Super Bowl Run by reading Jack Burn's article on the race.
Date: February 1st, 2009
Time: 10am (For runners planning on running at a more "relaxed" pace, i.e. those with a 35+ minute handicap, please be sure to show up plenty of time earlier than the posted 10am start time.) If you are unsure of this, email Dave Covey at ultradavec@yahoo.com .
Location: Roger Gordon's house, 339 Hillside Avenue, Mill Valley
Directions: Take Blithedale ave. west thru downtown Mill Valley. Hillside is the first right past (approx. a 1/4 mi.) the town center. Go all the way up to the top on Hillside. Parking is *very* limited, so car-pool if you can.
Format: Individually handicapped by Dave Covey
Entry Fee: $15 - If you are attending post-race party, please bring something edible to share.
Handicap information: If you have run this race in the last three years, you will be handicapped according to those performances, or your recent Dipsea times. If you haven't run this race, you will need to email Dave at:ultradavec@yahoo.com to receive a handicap. Please include relevant race data. Those who have not run this race in the last three years and do not ask for a handicap in advance will be hastily assigned a poor handicap at the last moment and possibly have to start with Mark McManus or Khalid Abdalah. Do *NOT* make the mistake of grossly mis-representing your ability level to the handicapper, or else you will be severely penalized, or possibly even DQ'ed after the race!
Course: We will continue to run on the original course this year. 7 miles of roads, fire roads, trails, with some steep hills and fairly long flat stretches.
Post race party info: Breakfast by Roger and crew!
Unchanged potluck format we've grown to love!
First place wins bottle of champagne wine, prizes to top 24 finishers!
Guaranteed typical Superbowl weather!
Note: This is a privately run race, and the Tamalpa Runners have no official affiliation or sanction with this race or its officials.
