Miwok 100K Trail Race
Location






Welcome to the Miwok 100K website.

The 2009 Miwok 100K is scheduled to take place on the first Saturday in May. - May 2, 2009 –

The race 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 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.

It’s exciting that so many runners want to participate in the event, but that translates into more applications than there are spots available. Thus, for the 2009 race, we are going to use a simple lottery format. We will include a buddy application so that you can travel and run with your training partner.

Registration for the Miwok 100K will open on October 1st and you will have a full month to get your application in. We will not know until January 15, 2009 whether the Park Service will allow us 350 runners as they did in 2008, or drop us back down to the previous maximum of 250. As soon as we find out, we will randomly pull the appropriate number of entrants and post the list online, no later than January 16, 2009.

Since the Miwok 100K is not an entry-level ultramarathon, race management presumes that you are already gearing up to run long in the Spring, so about four months of specific prep for the 100K distance (January 16th to May 2nd) should be more than adequate.

If you cannot find the answers on this website, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions, allowing two weeks for a response.

Look forward to seeing you in May.
