6/26/2011 - Topanga State Park, Los Angeles,California.
Trail run in the Santa Monica hills mostly on fire roads and some single track trails. The run is about 14 miles.
Distance: 13.99 miles
Course: Start the run at the end of Westridge Rd. Run north about 3 miles to the Nike radar station (water available) turn west on Mulholland and stay on the left to merge into Farmers road, this road is then connects back to Mullholand but it is a nicer run as it is a single track and more technical. Keep running west on Mulholland for about half a mile and turn left to the single track trail. Run on the trail up to Temescal Fire Rd. which later connects to Mulholland. Take Mulholland east to retun to the starting point in the same course.
Elevation profile: net zero, climb and decent of about 1,936 ft
Crowd: Recreational runners and walkers
The easy part:
The challenging part: The single track trail off Mulholland can be slightly technical with occasional steps running.
Price: N/A
Pacers: N/A
Timing: Self
Qualifying: N/A
My 2 cents: Start early, it gets hot quickly in this time of the year
