Trail & Kale are kickstarting their new life in California
…with the Virgin Sport San Francisco Weekend
Relocating from the U.K. to the San Francisco Bay Area
We’ve had a master plan for some time to eventually move across the pond to California. We knew that San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with top class local running trails just minutes from the City. Not to mention the really strong running community and year round weather for running, which would help us grow the Trail & Kale Brand. Eventually a work opportunity came up, and the rest is history.
The Virgin Sport San Francisco Weekend
Being new to the area we thought that signing up to a race event in the City would be the best way to explore areas we might not normally get to visit. A quick online search brought us straight to Virgin Sport’s San Francisco weekend. The headline events include: SF Bay Half Marathon and the Twin Peaks Mile Challenge.
The Half Marathon
The route starts at the SF City Hall and heads out towards, and through the Golden Gate park. You then make a right at 33rd Street, run through the Presidio, and then along the waterfront before heading back to the City Hall. The course is a really nice loop that takes in some of the most beautiful sites in San Francisco.
The Twin Peak Mile Challenge
I’m particularly looking forward to this event. I’ve seen so many iconic photographs taken from Twin Peaks using the city as a backdrop, and I can’t wait to run to the top, knowing that the reward will be stunning views!
We have chosen to participate in both events, because let’s face it, they both sound totally awesome!
Training for the event weekend
Training is going very well, we both feel strong thanks to the local mountains in Marin County. It’s perfect training for the Twin Peaks Mile Challenge!
We believe training should always be fun, here are some pictures of our most recent adventure around Mount Tamalpais State Park:
See you there!
We can’t wait for the Virgin Sport weekend to get started! If you see us at the event, be sure you say hello!
