Ring Mountain is a very nice, short (~2.75 miles), trail run in Corte Madera. There are many ajoining trails to expand on but this run should get your feet wet.
From Hwy 101 take the Paradise Drive/Tamalpais Drive exit and go east on Tamalpais Drive. Stay in the right lane and it will turn into San Clemente Drive. Follow San Clemente to the stop light and stay to the left onto Paradise Drive. It's about 1 mile to the trail head, if you get to the Montessori School you've gone to far, by about 500 feet. Parking is on the side of the road.
From the trail head follow up the path. You will come to a trail marker, go to the left on Loop trail. This will go up for a while and you will pass a large boulder, eventually hitting some pavement which you will follow up the hill until a dirt trail appears on the right. If you run past a water tower go back. Follow this trail until you see a sign for the Phyllis Ellman Trail which will take you back down to where you started. It's a great hike and a fun short trail run.
