Located in the visually stunning Marin Headlands, The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship course engages runners with both scenic views and drastic elevation change. The course terrain combines fast-paced dirt trail with portions of technical single track overlooking the Pacific Ocean with occasional glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The North Face Endurance Challenge is North America’s premier trail-running series that features two-day, trail-running festivals in six locations across North America: New York, Washington, D.C., Ontario, Wisconsin, Utah and California. In 2014, the Series added events in Utah and in Ontario, Canada, the first-time international expansion of the North American Series. In addition, The North Face Endurance Challenge Series is quickly becoming one of the most popular International trail-running series outside of North America, with additional events in several Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Columbia and Peru.
