San Francisco Running Company brought back the original morning run every Thursday – the Ninja Loop! The epic Ninja Loop, the unofficial SFRC loop before the 2013 store front, started years ago when local Marin runners wanted to squeeze in a scenic and challenging 11.5 mile route before work. The over 2,000 feet of climbing starts on the northwest side of the Golden Gate Bridge off of Conzelman Road. This loop tests your true Ninja abilities with three climbs of a mile or more including climbs up Miwok and Marincello. Every turn surprises you with amazing views of the Bay Area, rolling fog cresting through the hills and an epic sunrise that greets you on your way back to your car. Runners have been battling this route for years to be the top ninja and SFRC is bringing the group back every Thursday at 6am.
Join us at the Headlands Parking Lot (off Conzelman Rd) at 6 am to take on SCA, Slacker, Miwok, and Marincello. All abilities welcome to join.
