\n\t\n\tFinal updates made 8\/18\/25.\u00a0 No further updates anticipated.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This is a handicapped race. The goal is to manipulate things (by giving different groups a head start) so our top finishers come from many different waves (sex\/age groups).\u00a0 Given the time constraints, very small fields and huge variations in speed of runners from year to year, this system is highly imperfect.<\/p>\n Wave times for 2025 have been calculated based on the finish times seen over the last few years.\u00a0 Using the 2024 finish times with the 2025 waves results in a top 25 with the most age groups represented we could manage (13).\u00a0 No telling how that will play out on race day!<\/p>\n There will be awards based on handicapped time, but “actual times” (time from your wave start until you cross the finish line) will also be published. And we will be awarding top 3 awards for “actual times” (male\/female) and age group awards are always based on actual time (because age groups start together).<\/p>\n Given the way we do this, the handicapped results are not particularly “fair” at all, they just represent how we ran the race that year in an effort to keep it fun and interesting.\u00a0 We hope no feelings are hurt.<\/p>\n\t To be counted as an official finisher, runners must cross the finish line before 1:00 pm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10:25 am at the turnaround in Old Mill Park (mile 6.8)<\/p>\n 11:00 am at Muir Woods Aid (mile 8.6)<\/p>\n 12:10 pm at Cardiac Aid (mile 10.6)<\/p>\n This course gives runners a little bit of everything, including fire trails, single track, pavement and (of course) plenty of stairs.\u00a0 Bring your sense of adventure, fun and humility!<\/p>\n To improve the safety of all participants, headphones and trekking poles will not<\/em> be allowed on the course.\u00a0 Use of headphones or trekking poles will be grounds for disqualification.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t (Click on map to view larger)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t Do you really need course marking when the entire event takes place on one single trail?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 You will be on the Dipsea trail 100% of the time.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, to assist you, the course will be marked with signage and some colored flags.\u00a0 Regardless of course marking or confusions, all participants are 100% responsible for keeping themselves on the correct course.\u00a0 While there is little chance of anyone becoming seriously lost, there is always the possibility of becoming confused as to which way you should be going — particularly in the wooded areas where it is easier to get disoriented.<\/p>\n IMPORTANT: Regardless of what anyone may have done in the past or at other events on these trails, shortcuts are not allowed as part of this race.\u00a0 Anyone caught taking shortcuts or skipping any part of the course will be deemed to be intentionally cheating and disqualified from the race they are running and from participation in any future Double Dipsea events.\u00a0 Please don’t be a cheater.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\t\t Water\u00a0stations will be stocked with water, sports drink, gels, pretzels, candy, etc. and will be placed at the following approximate mileage:<\/p>\n Water stations on course:<\/p>\nCardiac – Mile 3 Water station locations are shown on maps above.\u00a0 Those needing water more frequently are encouraged to carry a water bottle or hydration pack.<\/p>\n In addition to the port-a-potties at the start\/finish area, there will also be port-a-potties at the Cardiac, Muir Woods and Old Mill water stations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Thank you to our race sponsors, through their contributions, our sponsors help keep entry costs down and expose our runners their outstanding products and services.
