Driving to Aid Stations

From Bolinas Fairfax Road to Randall Trail

It is inadvisable to try to crew both Bolinas Ridge and Randall Trail.

If the Bolinas-Fairfax Road is open:

Take Bolinas-Fairfax Road West down to the North end of Bolinas Lagoon where the road meets Shoreline Highway. Turn right (North) onto Shoreline Hwy and drive several twisty miles (you're halfway there when you see Dog Town on your left) to the Randall Trailhead on your right.

If the Bolinas-Fairfax Road is closed or you choose to crew your runner at Randall instead of Bolinas Ridge:

Retrace your route almost to Muir Beach, turning right onto Hwy 1 and following signs to Stinson Beach. Take Hwy 1/Shoreline Hwy through the little hamlet of Stinson Beach and follow it past Bolinas Lagoon, past Dog Town, to the aid station.

If you reach Olema, you've gone too far.

Be very careful as there may be hikers and horse trailers at this trailhead as well. Your runner may travel this section faster than you can drive the narrow winding road, especially if you're stuck behind a feed truck.
