We will meet at Ocean View Brew Works in Albany, run to (and around) Albany Waterfront Park/Golden Gate Fields Complex via SF Bay Trail (about 2.5 miles out to Tom Bates Sports Complex - Soccer Fields), and then turnaround back to the brewery for drinks and food (available at the kitchenette next door to Ocean View).
Although the meeting time is at 12:00pm, we don't start the actual run until around 12:10pm. There will be a reserved section for our group if you plan on leaving any personal belongings.
Street parking can be limited in this area. Especially on San Pablo Avenue and in small sections of its cross streets, parking is limited to 90 minutes. So, please make an effort to arrive early or take public transit. Ocean View Brew Works is about 0.75 mile south of the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station.
Like all runs, we will do our best to prevent people from getting lost (verbal directions are often provided beforehand and/or QR code with directions is printed), and we are very flexible when it comes to pace and distance. All levels of running and drinking experience are welcome!
