Course Records
The Terrible Two course has changed in many ways—some minor, some significant—over the years. We have grouped our course records into two categories: Short Course and Long Course.
The Long Course includes a loop north from Skaggs Springs-Stewarts Point Road through Annapolis to Sea Ranch. This was the standard course (with assorted variations) through 1994, with an anniversary reprise of the course in 2005. The distance for that course varied from 208 to 211 miles, depending on other variations elsewhere around the course. The Short Course, introduced in 1995, heads straight west to the coast on Skaggs Springs-Stewarts Point Road, eliminating the Annapolis loop but introducing the Rancheria "Wall." The distance for this course has varied from 198 to 202 miles.
