The 16th anniversary Miwok 100K will take place on the first Saturday in May
- May 7, 2011 • 5:40 a.m. –
near Rodeo Lagoon (west of Sausalito, California) –
The Miwok 100K is very hilly (approximately 10,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain) with spectacular views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais and the Point Reyes National Seashore. The course is a modified out-and-back, consisting of mostly fire roads and single-track trails with less than four miles on roads. The race is extremely competitive at the front, a rewarding challenge for the mid-pack and a glorious long day in the forests and fields for those not in a hurry.
There is a fantastic post-race barbecue, great tech-fabric race shirt and goodie bag with useful, ultra-specific items from our outstanding sponsors.
Carpooling will once again be required in order to maintain our permit from the GGNRA. The start/finish location will be moved a short distance up to the Headlands YMCA for 2011. Check here for details in February.
Miwok is a lot of fun to run, and volunteering at the race can also be a blast. You meet great people, help your community, and get food and some great swag, too. It’s also a great way to learn about ultrarunning and improve your own performance by observing a lot of runners’ pacing and aid station strategies. Check out the Volunteers link to your left to see what you can do and send me an e-mail (Miwok100k@gmail.com).

who were instrumental in the success of last year’s Miwok. Florencia Gascon-Amyx once again arranged all the course-marking so a huge thanks to her and the marking crew. Our aid station captains were Stan Jensen, Suzanna Bon and Fred Liebes, Ana Braga-Levaggi and the Tamalpa Running Club, the Coastside Running Club of Half Moon Bay, and Wini and Lee Jebian. If you helped at the 2010 Miwok and I’ve left you off the list, please e-mail me so that I can thank you personally.
If you cannot find the answers on this website, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

The 2011 Miwok 100K entry will once again be through lottery. Anyone who volunteered eight hours for the 2010 race will receive an “extra ticket” into the lottery and I am considering the buddy option again for 2011. Please check the website in late September for complete details, and feel free to e-mail me with questions.
See you on the trails!
