My all-time favorite, although definitely acommitment as traffic going south often puts me off making the trip, Mori Point is a beautiful cliffside trail. Not a particularly long run,and not as challenging but this routeis just gentle enough that you can enjoy the view of the black sand andwild succulents without getting your breathing out of sync. 

Trail 3: Bay Ridge Trail above Fairfax

Looping around theentirety of the Bay, the Ridge Trail spans approximately 400 miles meaning there are a bunch of places you can pick up and begin at. It’s perfect if, like me, you suffer fromcity induced cabin fever from time to time. A gentle but unrelentingincline for the first few miles, this is not a trail for the faint ofheart, but a great workout for your buns. The best thing about this trail is it can be as long or as short as you fancy, perfect for a 5ker.
