MILL VALLEY, CA — A 61-year-old man from Colorado Springs on Sunday won the 110th Dipsea Race, from downtown Mill Valley to Stinson Beach, organizers said. Mark Tatum finished first out of 1,300 runners from 22 states at the historic trail race, which had been postponed from June due to uncertainty related to COVID-19, such as vaccine rollout and public health guidance for large events. The 7.5-mile race was canceled in 2020 for the first time since 1945. The race was first held in 1905 and was canceled from 1942 to 1945 due to World War II and military activity on Mt. Tamalpais. Tatum placed second in 2019 and on Sunday outran an impressive field that included the runner-up, 62-year-old Dan King of Boulder, Colorado, organizers said. All contestants were required to provide proof of COVID vaccination to compete in the event.
