Rodeo Beach Trail Run

Welcome to the 23rd Annual Rodeo Beach Trail Run. Enjoy vistas of the Pacific Coast as you take a scenic tour of the spectacular Marin Headlands with views of San Francisco, Tiburon, the Golden Gate Bridge and California coastline. This PCTR classic features two distances - 50K & 30K. They start and finish at Rodeo Beach. You’ll have a chance to see coyotes, deer, hawks, rabbits, bob cats, the Golden Gate Bridge as well as historic abandoned military batteries reclaimed by nature. We have decided to produce this event in August with Headlands 100K rather than by itself in December as we have done in previous years. Summer in the Headlands is awesome: sun shining brightly with cool ocean breezes to make it a perfect day. Every once in awhile, fog and strong winds may show up for a bit on the ridges.
Also on Saturday August 12th, 2023,  Pacific Coast Trail Runs will be producing this event along side our Headlands 100K Endurance Run. If you want to register for the Headlands 100K Endurance Run, then please do so here: https://runsignup.com/Race/CA/Sausalito/Headlands100KEnduranceRun
