Dipsea Trail
The Dipsea Trail, in Marin County, California, is the route of the annual Dipsea Race. The trail itself is approximately long, running from Mill Valley up and over a ridge and down to the Pacific Ocean at Stinson Beach. Runners in the race are not restricted to follow just one pathway; especially towards the endpoint some runners diverge along less traveled paths which they may have practiced and deem advantageous. For the majority of the route, almost all competitors follow one main path which climbs and descends stairways and is otherwise well-defined. The trail crosses land owned by multiple parties including the National Park Service, the State of California, Marin County, the City of Mill Valley, and the Flying Y Homeowners Association. The trail has almost 688 stairs, and in fact starts with a climb of "670ish" stairs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The National Register nomination was written by a D.S. Livingston, of the Dipsea Tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bay To Breakers
Bay to Breakers is an annual footrace in San Francisco, California typically on the third Sunday of May. The phrase "Bay to Breakers" reflects the fact that the race starts at the northeast end of the downtown area a few blocks from The Embarcadero (adjacent to San Francisco Bay) and runs west through the city to finish at the Great Highway (adjacent to the Pacific coast, where breakers crash onto Ocean Beach). The complete course is long. Bay to Breakers is well known for many participants wearing costumes. The 1986 edition set a Guinness Word Record for being world's largest footrace with 110,000 participants, until that was surpassed by the 2010 City2Surf event in Sydney. Attendance in 2015 was reported at roughly 50,000. That year, Zappos.com signed on as the multi-year title sponsor of Bay to Breakers; the name of the race became Zappos.com Bay to Breakers. As of 2017 the title sponsor of the race is Alaska Airlines. History Started as a way to lift the city's spir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cross City Race
A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two intersecting lines or bars, usually perpendicular to each other. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally. A cross of oblique lines, in the shape of the Latin letter X, is termed a saltire in heraldic terminology. The cross has been widely recognized as a symbol of Christianity from an early period.''Christianity: an introduction'' by Alister E. McGrath 2006 pages 321-323 However, the use of the cross as a religious symbol predates Christianity; in the ancient times it was a pagan religious symbol throughout Europe and western Asia. The effigy of a man hanging on a cross was set up in the fields to protect the crops. It often appeared in conjunction with the female-genital circle or oval, to signify the sacred marriage, as in Egyptian amu ...

National Register Of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance or "great artistic value". A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property. The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one and a half million properties on the National Register, 95,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. For most of its history, the National Register has been administered by the National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. Its goals are to help property owners and inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
