From the organizers
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 56 times since 1970 and 2027 will be #57.
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.
