In February, there is the Lake Merritt Relay, a two person relay.
In May we host the Tilden Tough Ten Miler in Berkeley. This race was established in 1987 as an alternative for more serious runners to the “Bay to Breakers.” It has grown in popularity over the years and now regularly “sells out” every year, with the maximum number allowed by our permit of 300 runners.

In June we host the challenging Woodmonster Trail Race, an 8.4 mile hilly, cross-country loop on dirt trails in Oakland.
