The 110th Running of the Dipsea Race will be Sunday, November 7, 2021. Each entrant receives headstart minutes based upon age and gender. There are two race sections. The Invitational section starts promptly at 8:00 am. The Runner section starts promptly at RACE: 8:27 am. The course is from Lytton Square in downtown Mill Valley, California through Muir Woods, around the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais and down to the finish line at Stinson Beach. The course will be marked, but potential race leaders should familiarize themselves with the route. The distance is approximately 7.5 miles. The course is open except at certain noted locations. Accepted runners will be mailed pertinent information. To alleviate crowded conditions on the trail we must limit the fields to 1,500 entrants, 700 in the Invitational Section and 800 in the ELIGIBILITY: Runner Section. Unregistered runners will not be permitted to start or finish the race. Athletes under 18 years of age must have a parent’s or guardian’s signature on their entry form and must have a parent or guardian at the race. Because the course is narrow and rugged, responsibility for children lies with the parents or guardians. We recommend first time entrants familiarize themselves with the trail before race day.
