Why is a Tick the event mascot?
We’re very fortunate to have The Bay Area Lyme Foundation as our race series sponsor. The Bay Area Lyme Foundation is committed to making Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure.
Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne illness in the US.  It is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected backlegged tick. Most infections are caused by the nymphal form of the tick. These immature ticks are the size of a small poppy seed, allowing them to easily escape discovery.
Never done one of our races before? Check out the following video to get an idea of the awesome trails, epic views, and excellent people you will experience on race day!

Free running event this Sunday 9/21/14 in Tiburon


How often do you hear that? "Free running event" sounds like a foreign language to me! Marathon Matt is speaking my kind of language with the Tiburon Tune Up Run this coming Saturday, September 21, 2014. Whether you are running the Tiburon Half in October and looking for a course preview or just taking in the amazing views of the bay from Tiburon, you get a 5 mile run that is sure to be awesome. The run starts at 9:30 a.m. and finishes at Sam's Anchor Cafe where exotic raffle prizes will be given away like a Red Hot Chili Pepper. Up for grabs are (2) Fitbits, (2) Entries into the Tiburon Half/ 10k/ 5k and (1) Lucky person is going home with a free entry into the soon to be sold out HONEY BADGER HALF!!! Save a beer for me!!! Do Not Fret if you have already signed up for the Honey Badger. It's a popular race. We get it. So if you have already paid and you win.......Sasquatch Racing will give you credit for a future race or refund your entry fee. No kidding. This is legit and its gonna be huge.

 If you do the run, love the course, want to sign up for the Tiburon Half/10k/5k....... then use the code FITBIT at checkout and save 30%

If you want to enter the Honey Badger before they sell out use SFTrails at checkout and SAVE $5
