Golden Gate Trail Run 8K
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, warming through the race
A cool 49°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 60°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 72% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Golden Gate Trail Run 8K is the shortest distance on the Marin Headlands trails, starting and finishing at Rodeo Beach. The yellow-marked route is mostly single track with a stretch of dirt road and a short paved section, and climbs high enough for views of the coast and the Golden Gate Bridge.
