I've hiked this route before and have ran it in parts. It starts on the Ma Hu Tak trailhead side off of 19th ave. You start with an initial mountain up hill run at a fairly steep grade and it'll shoot you on to the max delta trail that heads west. As you approach closer to the road stay on the trail and don't be tempted to cross the street to the other trail initially( Derby Trail). You'll eventually reach another crossing point that leads you to the bajada trail. Follow this for a ways and then cross the street to hit the National trail and the Ramada at the end of the San Juan Road. Finally, begin your climb of the Alta Trail and maintain until the Finish.
