PRESIDIO

Final course statistics and notes will be posted/updated soon after vetting is complete Monday, May 20.

A. The Presidio of San Diego is smaller than the Presidio of San Francisco, but just as diverse! It packs a lot of punch in a small area. And a pretty steep gradient from sea level to a small mountain top. Like Balboa but a bit less developed and more rugged, with interesting historical remnants, like a long fort wall.

B. Map interpretation still applies, and the gotcha this time will be so much "forest orienteering," and then all of the sudden you have to switch to urban mode for short sections.

C. It's Not Really a Traditional Motala... but because there are 2 butterfly loops, there are 4 different course variations. Like a traditional motala, everyone will finish with the same last legs or section of the course. Perhaps it's a "Sprint Goat" with no skip??

D. Roads with Traffic Crossings... there is a boulevard running through the park you will need to cross a few times and another road to cross too. The North edge of the map has a busier road which you cannot run on but you can run in the rough open that borders it.

E. "Social" trails... not all indistinct paths are mapped.

F. Mass-Start and Logistics: Mass start! We'll have a few extra units and bags at the first checkpoint. Start and finish are close to check-in.
