Course Map

You can find the course map and description here: marinendurancefest.com. Runners expect the steepest and biggest hills at the beginning of the course, as the elevation at the start line rises from sea level to 110 feet above sea level. The course consists of two surfaces-some sections on paved roads and others on trails with natural surfaces. The course climbs about 1,500 feet throughout the run through the park.
