The 15th anniversary Miwok 100K will take place on the first Saturday in May:
- May 1, 2010 • 5:40 a.m. –
- 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 approximately five 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.
Miwok is a lot of fun to run, and volunteering at the race can also be a blast. You meet great
people, help your colleagues, 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).
I would like to publicly thank the many volunteers:
Bob Agazzi Jonathan Gunderson Dan O'Farrell Brooke Appler Martin Gutierrez Jon Olsen Liz Arrow Mary Hays Rajeev Patel Kelly Beattie Lisa Henson Dave Penny Jenn Bernstein Randy Hodnett Pavan Ramarapu Dave Bieber Joan Hodnett Jennifer Ray Jennifer Blake Steve Jaber Steve Reagan Helen Bodington Lee Jebian James Richards Ana Braga-Levaggi Wini Jebian Mark Richtman Larry Bradley Roger Jensen Rebecca Rivenbark Paul Brunner Stan Jensen Brett Rivers Steven Butschi Jennifer Johnston Kent Roberts Coastside Running Club Errol Jones Charles Stevens Dave Combs Bree Lambert Tamalpa Running Club Gary Dudney Carol Lane Skye Thompson Michele Fallone Hollis Lenderking Jim Truitt Michael Hayes and Family Fred Liebes Brian Valle Jackie Florine Seth Limmer Ron Gutierrez Diane Forrest Cheryl Loomis Hannes Vogel Bob Gilbert Jo McCabe Patty Wellington Tony Gonzalez John Medinger Chuck Wilson Joe Mitchell
who were instrumental in the success of last year’s stormy 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, Paul Brunner, Ana Braga-Levaggi and the Tamalpa Running Club, the Coastside Running Club of Half Moon Bay, and Chuck Wilson. If you helped at the 2009 Miwok and I’ve left you off the list, please e-mail me so that I can thank you personally.
(my hard drive crashed and I’m sure I missed a few of you when I sent out the thanks last Spring. If I still owe you a volunteer T-shirt, e-mail me and I’ll send you one!)
Carpooling will once again be required in order to maintain our permit from the GGNRA. We will do our best to secure a permit from the California State Parks and will modify the course as necessary if permits are still unavailable next May.
If you cannot find the answers on this website, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
