Sausalito To Point Reyes Runner's-Hiker's Trek

Description

Overview

This is our 5 day/4 night special runner's trek.  The vacation was inspired by the custom trek we designed for Runner's World magazine.  The trek traverses the beautiful trails of Marin County and Mount Tamalpais, "arguably the country's best trail running".  Of course, these same trails are lovely to hike as well!  You will see and experience Sausalito and Muir Woods National Monument, and end at the edge of Point Reyes National Seashore park. It is the perfect runner's vacation!

Details

The trek includes 3 days of running or hiking 9 to 10 miles (14 to 16 km).  Each night you will stay in premier lodging, ranging from charming country inns to luxury boutique hotels. In addition, you will have opportunities for excellent dining. It is also possible to customize this trek, adding a day at the beginning and starting in San Francisco or a day at the end, running through Point Reyes and finishing in Inverness.
