This race supports families of fallen officers. All bay area runners should consider participating in this race – it’s family friendly and they have a police helicoptor land at the end, and mounted police on their horses. It’s really fun and different. The course through the park is nice, mostly trail. I actually got an age group win here which was fun :-).
Nice trail 5K, although confusing

This race had a nice vibe as it benefited the Concerns of Police Survivors, and there were a lot of people running in honor of fallen officers. I figured my car was fairly safe from break-in with all the cops present. It was a very kid-friendly event, there were lots of beautiful K9s, and the helicopter that flew in at the end of the race was a nice surprise.
As far as the course is concerned, holy confusion. I couldn’t duplicate my route on that course again. There was so much doubling back and intersecting and running cross-direction with other runners, I’m just glad I wasn’t in the lead, or I would have led everyone astray. Volunteers did help direct traffic, but there were a few places where passing other runners in cross-traffic was tight. This was a trail race, but the hills were fairly short and moderate and the footing was good. Don’t hold back too much, as it is fairly fast for a trail race.
