Stinson Beach to Mill Valley and back to Stinson again, entirely on the world-famous Dipsea Trail both ways!
The Double Dipsea has been run 55 times since 1970 and 2026 will be #56.
This is a handicapped race, so everyone (except the male under 40 division) gets a head start. In 2026 our winner was 66 (female) and our top 10 finishers included 3 females and 7 males with ages ranging from 15 to 67. Waves are adjusted each year, so you never know who might cross the line first.
But it isn't really about the time, it's about the epic journey. Young and old, fast and slow, all are welcome to start and as long as you can make the generous race cutoffs, you can get it done!
