Dipsea Trail
United States historic place
About
The Dipsea Trail, in Marin County, California, is the route of the annual Dipsea Race. The trail itself is approximately 7.5 miles (12.1 km) long, running from Mill Valley up and over a ridge and down to the Pacific Ocean at Stinson Beach. Runners in the race are not restricted to follow just one pathway; especially towards the endpoint some runners diverge along less traveled paths which they may have practiced and deem advantageous. For the majority of the route, almost all competitors follow one main path which climbs and descends stairways and is otherwise well-defined.
The trail crosses land owned by multiple parties including the National Park Service, the State of California, Marin County, the City of Mill Valley, and the Flying Y Homeowners Association.
