Course & challenge

Dipsea Race

From the Depot Bookstore on Throckmorton Avenue the race sprints down to Old Mill Park, then climbs the three flights of the Dipsea stairs, as tall as a fifty story building, and keeps climbing to Windy Gap. It plunges into Muir Woods across Redwood Creek, grinds up through the trees on Dynamite and Cardiac, then drops through the Swoop and the rocks and roots of Steep Ravine, up the steep Insult Hill and down the Moors to Stinson Beach.

Runners leave in head start groups set by age and sex, so the clock at the finish already holds the handicap and the first across the line wins. That is why a runner in their sixties or a teenager can take the race. The trail is steep and narrow in places, and the organiser asks runners to keep to the official trail where signs close historic shortcuts.

This page covers the Dipsea Race 2027. On Livebib, family and friends can follow a runner's position on the course, the distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes on. If the phone loses its signal, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated.
