I LOVED this race. It was my second 10K, and I did PR (by a few seconds, but still). It was a nice, flat out-and-back on a paved path along the water. The views from Bay Farm Island are incredible — we could downtown Oakland, SF, and the Bay Bridge pretty much the entire way. I think this was the first year they held a 10K, and it was very well-organized and fun. Check in was easy and the post-race festivities were fun. The only downside, I suppose, was that they ran out of shirts in smaller sizes, but I have PLENTY of other race shirts, so it honestly barely mattered. I would 100% do this race again. I think it would be a great first 10K for those who are thinking about trying out the distance!

This is a nice smaller race close to where I live. I like supporting my local community. The course is easy with some of the best bay views. They had a feature that texted me my results about 2 minutes after I finished which I thought was fantastic.
A flat course in Alameda.

A good race for a personal best. This was the first year they’ve run it so it may not remain as small and manageable as it was this year. Would have preferred a medal for my collection, but a beer glass for first place in my age division was nice too. The kids 3/4 mile race was fun for my granddaughter.

Race coordinator Steve Ashbaker put on a first-rate production in this inaugural run. Race day registration and pickup were organized and smooth. The whole event was family friendly, and the shirt was seriously one of my favorite race shirts ever. I also liked the etched beer glasses in lieu of medals for the winners. The course is flat, paved and perfect for a PR.
