Parking should be available along Hyannisport Drive. Please RSVP to by Monday July 11. Once we have an overview about attendance, we will send out directions to participants.
What   A long run (about 9.0 miles, 1000 feet of climbing) and an intermediate run (about 6.1 miles, 600 feet of climbing).
This is a remote trail run and each runner must carry at least one water bottle.
To avoid having to search for lost runners we ask every runner to find other runners of approximately the same running ability to form a group. The runners in each group must be able to account for their partners to make sure nobody is lost.
We will have a potluck after the run. So please bring some food or drink to share.
Why   After the run we will have the convenience of Joe's house & pool for the potluck. Bring your swimsuit. No shoes are allowed in the house! Please bring some clean socks or be prepared to walk on bare feet.
Close to Palo Alto. Multiple vista points with expansive views of Santa Clara Valley and Stevens Creek Reservoir.
Note: This course is hilly, but less so than some of our other trail runs.
