2022-02-26 08:00 - 11:00 | SFRC Mill Valley, 247 Shoreline Hwy, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
For this Saturday’s group run, we decided we needed to throw in some more…flavors 🥞 We’re closing February out in a big way and bringing some friends in to help us do it right.
First, we have a renowned chef and friend of the shop, John Shaver, on hand to batch us up incredible pancakes and toppings to make sure we’re properly re-fueled after our run. For more information on John, we highly, highly recommend reading up on him at johnjshaver.com.
Next, what’s a trail run without some trail shoes? That’s why we’ve invited our friends at Altra to demo the brand new Lone Peak 6, Altra’s do-it-all trail running and hiking shoe. Come early and reserve your size…this latest update to the classic is exciting!
This Saturday’s group run also kicks off the 2022 Jam on Tam, the open course race that goes on until September 3oth, and offers many different race awards for our coveted Mount Tam Hill Climb route, presented by The Trail Portal and Pacific Coast Trail Runs.
Register for this event for FREE in LINK BELOW. We can wait to see everyone there on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at 8 am at the Mill Valley shop!

Once you’re done with Valentine’s, come join us the weekend after for our fun-for-everyone group run on Pal-entine’s Day, February 19th!
Grab your closest pals—yes, all of them—and wear the most pink & yellow you can as we head out for a morning on the trails. On hand will be our friends and fuel/hydration partner of PCTR, Fluid, to make sure you’re well-fed and hydrated.

Saturday Morning Group Run - Trail Sisters
2022-02-05 07:30 - 10:00 | SFRC Mill Valley, 247 Shoreline Hwy, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, United States
And just like that, it’s February in the year of 2022! Weren’t we just celebrating New Years…yesterday? Whatever the case, a new month means we get to do our most favorite thing: run with our friends at Trail Sisters – Marin!
We say it a lot but this week’s route is a real fun one, inspired by one of the earliest friends of the shop, Jenny Maier (Up Marincello, Down Old Springs), and one of the vert-ier routes we’ve been able to put together in the Headlands (14.5-miles / ~2,700’ elevation) from the shop that’s under 15 miles. We don’t remember ever doing this route before so get ready for some gorgeous climbing out there.
As with all our group runs that are led by the Trails Sisters, an early group will be leaving from the shop at 7:30 am with a no-drop supportive. If you ever wanted to join a SFRC group run but had some apprehensions of getting lost or losing touch with the group, this is a fail-safe way to make sure you don’t.
Also as always, we’ll have a shorter route for those who don’t want to go the full way yet, or maybe just need a shorter shakeout for the Kaiser SF Half the following day. Whatever the case, make sure to say hi to your fellow trail runners and racers who are doing the Golden Gate Trail Run, put on by Coastal Trail Runs on Saturday!
