Friends of Ridge Trail

We (Avinash Jain, Kaushik Sunder, Kiran Krishnamurthy and Anil Rao) did circumnavigation of Bay Area Ridge Trail in 2020-2021 as part of Together Relay Organised by Pacific Coast Trail Runs.  It is currently a network of semi-continuously loop of 400 miles around bay area. 

Since the time we did this loop, we were fascinated by the vast network of Trail system in San Francisco bay area and would like to help with the mission of RidgeTrail.org of building a continuous loop of 550 miles in next 20 years. In this mission we would like to organise Trail Running/Hiking events to raise funds for the RidgeTrail organisation.

Kiran Krishnamurthy

I am a software engineer living in the Bay Area since '13 and the thing I loved about the place, apart from the weather, were the trails here. When we moved in here, spent the weekends hiking various trails in the area with my family and then got into trail running since '16. I am part of a local running club here and involved in trail maintenance and volunteering at races and running events. Circumnavigating BART and covering ~390 miles around the Bay Area has been an amazing and a very unique experience for us.

Anil Rao
