[Trail Run] Fifield-Cahill Trail

Join us and our friends from Bay Area Ridge Trail for a unique opportunity to run remote open space, dense forests and hilly grasslands with extensive views of the entire Bay Area.

Event participants will meet at the turnout on the north side of the intersection of CA Highway 92 and CA Highway 35 just before the entrance to Skylawn Cemetery no later than 8:00 am. The turnout is on the right side of westbound CA Highway 92 approximately 1.7 miles after you have passed over Crystal Springs Reservoir.

Once the group has arrived we will caravan north in private vehicles through the Cemetery approximately 2 miles to the Cemetery Gate trailhead and park inside the gate. The event will stage at the Cemetery Gate Trailhead (Cemetery Gate is at Mile Marker 1.5). We will run out to Pacific Ocean Overlook at Mile Marker 8 and back.
