A Stanford perimeter with a dish loop is about 8 miles. That goes Stanford
Ave to El Camino to the Stanford Shopping Center, run around the rear to Sand
Hill to Junipero Serra to Campus Drive then through the gate up the hill loop
back down to Stanford Avenue.
But you are so close to San Francisco. There many super-scenery areas with
not too many cars. One run is the shoreline loop. Start at the Embarcadero
under the Bay Bridge and run along the wharfs through Fisherman wharf to
the marina green by the golden gate bdige then south through lincoln avenue
then find the trails to lands end then down to ocean beach. Then close the
loop turning inland at golden gate park. I recommend between the end of the
park and the Embarcadero to take J or N street car, because that section is
pretty urban.
Another place is combine the golden gate area with the marin headlands.
The headlands is mostly hills. You can run across the east side
of the bridge. You can use the out-and-back method. You could run 60-75
minutes out then return.

Not heard of "Fogcutter productions" either (the race producer), so no advice
there. The generic description of the course sounds interesting enough---it's
hard to go too wrong running anywhere in wine country!
I would say if you're going to be there, give it a go...
