Marin County Weekend Track and Field Schedule

The weekend schedule across Marin and the greater Bay Area blends single-start meets with all-day invitational vibes. You’ll see a mix of relays, multi-site tournaments, and cross-regional matchups that highlight Marin’s deep pool of sprinters, distance runners, throwers, and jumpers.

Events range from the grassy fields of Petaluma to the indoor-like energy of San Francisco venues. Coaches say this is a prime opportunity for athletes to chase PRs and college opportunities while keeping the county’s track tradition alive.

Key Marin teams and where they’re racing

Here’s a snapshot of how Marin’s programs are spread across the weekend—and what local fans should know to catch their teams in action:

College of Marin (COM) competes at Contra Costa in San Pablo with a 1 p.m. start. Kentfield athletes get a Bay Area jump on the weekend calendar.
Archie Williams High School races at Encinal (11 a.m.) and also joins a Bob Warren 56 all-day event in Lafayette. They’re also in a Livermore tournament, broadening the Redwood Empire reach.
Marin Academy travels to Berkeley for two scheduled meet times, 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Mill Valley’s gauntlet of distance runners and speedsters will test themselves against Bay Area competition.
Branson faces Clear Lake at 1 p.m. and is slated for a showdown with Garfield at the State Division V meet at Natomas High in Sacramento.
Foothill runs at Terra Linda at 1 p.m. That’ll keep the San Rafael corridor buzzing with relay energy and field events on track near the Redwoods.
Tamalpais (Tam) jumps into multiple events, including a 10 a.m. meet with Menlo, an all-day Eddie Hart Invitational, and the Gaucho Relays in Petaluma. It’s a true Marin multi-meet showcase.
Casa Grande visits Branson at 11:30 a.m., adding a cross-town rivalry flavor to the morning lineup and swapping results across the county.
Sonoma Valley competes at Novato at 4:30 p.m. That late-afternoon action will have plenty of eyes tracking a wider North Bay field.
Several programs—Dominican, Redwood, and Terra Linda—are entered in large multi-site invitationals. Dominican heads to Chico’s Wildcat Invitational and Stanislaus State in Turlock, while Redwood hits the Gaucho Relays and the Sacred Heart Cathedral tournament in San Francisco.
Novato hosts the NorCal Tournament all day at Novato High. The city turns into a north-north Bay magnet for track and field fans and athletes alike.
Terra Linda also pops up in the Redondo Relays, highlighting the county’s reach into Southern California meets that draw marquee competition.

Why this weekend matters for Marin communities

For families in San Rafael, San Anselmo, Tiburon, Larkspur, and Corte Madera, the weekend brings a rare blend of travel and local pride. Marin Academy’s trek to Berkeley gives Mill Valley and nearby towns a taste of the regional stage.

Novato’s NorCal Tournament throws a full-day spotlight on the north end of the county. The College of Marin’s trip to San Pablo lets Kentfield, Greenbrae, and the educational corridor nearby feel the pulse of Bay Area competition.

Terra Linda athletes get ready in San Rafael for a couple of big meet days. Branson, Tamalpais, and Casa Grande are all set for cross-county matchups, so the whole spectrum of Marin prep sports gets a turn in the spotlight.

Our local athletes punch above their weight and swap stories from San Rafael to Sacramento and back. That’s just how it goes here—everyone’s connected, and the rivalries run deep.

This weekend’s mix of relays, invitationals, and NorCal showdowns shows why coaches, parents, and fans make the trek from Blackie Road in Novato to the hills above Berkeley and beyond. Check the results boards in Marin newspapers or your favorite team pages—these meet-ups are about more than just times and placings.
