Thursday Morning Ninja Loop - Headlands Parking Lot
2023-07-06 06:00 - 09:00, 2023-06-29 06:00 - 09:00 | Headlands Parking Lot, Conzelman Rd & US-101, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
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.

Exchanging Experiences is a place to celebrate Trail Running and the runners of our community – to get to know each other better and highlight the crazy things being achieved right in our backyard! Runners of the Bay @runnersofthebay hosts this live podcast interviewing athletes at our San Anselmo store and streaming on our YouTube Channel.
Join us on Wednesday, May 24th with Sharon Finston and Carolyn Latham, a mother-daughter duo who come from a family of endurance horseback riders. Their family has an impressive history – they boast four generations of Tevis Cup finishers, with Sharon in the third generation and Carolyn in the fourth, making a total of 13 family members. The Tevis Cup, aka the Western States Trail Ride, is the race that sparked the start of the Western States Endurance Run. In 1974, Gordy Ainsleigh was slated to ride his horse in the Tevis, but his horse came up lame just before the race. Gordy decided to run alongside the horses instead…and the rest is history.
