*The CA state park is limiting how many people we can have at China Camp Miwok Mdws this year to 200. We have about 225 online and mail registrations so far, so I'm going to cap our total capacity at 250 registrations. We spread the races out over a few hours, which helps control the number of people in Miwok picnic area at any one time. Online registration does not close until tomorrow. But I expect we'll be able to take only about 20 race-day registrations and may have to turn people away, except for hardship cases. I also need to re-assign some of the registration volunteers as course monitors. Sorry for late notice...race director
China Camp course, a 4.25 mile eyeloop course, rolling with lots of single track. About 1/4 mile of road. Make sure car is parked off the roadway. This race is a memorial to John Lawson, a Tamalpa Runner who, at 44, died suddenly of a heart attack in 2000. |
***Race date moved from 10/15/22 to10/16/22. Loop course, rolling hills. $75 bonus for breaking any age group course record. |
2 x 2 mile loops with 0.2 mile initial grass start. Flat course with mix of grass, groomed dirt trails, and paths. |
Start and finish in Lindley Meadow. Women: 2 two-mile loops. Open men: 3 two-mile loops. Masters men, note course description change: Two 1.5-mile loops (the west portion of the normal two-mile loop, cutting down to Lindley Meadow by the horse corral), then one normal two-mile loop. Due to construction, the trail around Middle Lake will be closed, so we will stay on the path along Chain of Lakes Drive past the parking lot, then left to the meadow rejoining our normal course up towards the Polo Field. ** Comp athletes: email Irene Herman, [email protected], for the code or send her your manual comp entry forms. |
