Additional Information
While experienced runners will enjoy the challenge and exploration of new territory, those new to the trails will also discover a whole new world of running where it is perfectly normal (and highly recommended!) to walk the hills and save your energy for the flat and downhill sections.
Walkers/hikers and runners of all levels are welcome.
While there are always a handful of people looking to win the race, the majority of runners are only competing against themselves and are out for the pure joy of running a new course, supported by fantastic volunteers and sharing time with fellow trail runners.
All runners will receive finisher medals and technical t-shirts (available in gender-specific styles and in sizes ranging from youth small up to men's 4XL). (Note: Must be registered by October 3rd to be guaranteed a shirt in your size.
The half marathon will start at 8:00am, the 10K at 8:10am and the 5K at 8:25am.
Parking is free
Fleet Feet of Pleasant Hill is providing free shoes to the male and female winners of the half marathon and gift certificates to the winners of the 5K/10K.
The Oakland Running Festival is providing free entry to the Oakland Marathon to the male and female winners of the half marathon race. An entry will also be raffled off to one runner and one volunteer at the race!
