Dipsea Trail Runners Enjoy Perfect Conditions, Beach Frolic, Delicious BBQ
Warm weather at home meant cool coastal fog and misty trails over Mt. Tamalpais for the nearly thirty athletes running the historic Dipsea trail from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach on Saturday. The 7.1 mile run was a spectacular odyssey of damp redwood trails, rain forest sprinkles, ocean bluffs and challenging staircases.
Afterward, Cougar harriers relaxed in the icy ocean surf, explored tide pools, played games and feasted on a full picnic buffet. Thanks to the parent volunteers for making this trip a success!
