First run in 1905, The Dipsea Race is the oldest trail race in America.

It is run every year on the second Sunday in June. The scenic 7.4 mile course from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach in Marin County, CA, is considered to be one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The stairs and steep trails make it a grueling and treacherous race. And its unique handicapping system has made winners of men and women of all ages.

Without races like Dipsea, the sport of trail running may be different from how we know it today, and we feel like it's super important to preserve these historic event for the present and future of our sport.

Alex Varner - the Dipsea legend - has run it every year, except one, since 2003. In this interview with Kirsten Kortebein (the host of our podcast for one day!) he walks us through the Dipsea course, experience and vibe.
