Leader:

Directions: From PCH in Dana Point, turn left onto Dana Point Harbor Drive and follow it until it dead ends near the Ocean Institute. Parking is all around. We'll meet almost to the end of DPH Drive, near the little pier in Dana Point Harbor (near the Ship and bathrooms).

About the Run: This is an out and back flat run that will cover a portion of the "Dana Point Turkey Trot" course. One possible turnaround point is at the end of the parking lot just past the San Clemente Metrolink Station. Total distance is about 10.6 miles. Shorter options are available. For a 12.8 mile run, continue running along the footpath to the next turnaround point, the San Clemente Pier. For those of you needing a little more mileage, you can add on 2 or 4 more miles by including the island in the harbor. If you’re doing a 20-miler, you can continue along the path that goes beyond the San Clemente Pier then turnaround when necessary. Bring water, although several drinking fountains are located along the way. Lots of restrooms!

After the Run: Coffee Importers at the Ocean Institute (they moved) or Proud Mary’s is a fun and tasty breakfast spot, located in the harbor. Park for Proud Mary’s is in the parking lot near The Brig.
