We will meet at Ghost Town Brewing in the Laurel District, run to the Oakland LDS Temple and Lincoln Highlands (a little more than 2 miles to the top of the hill), and then turnaround back to the beer garden for drinks and food. Make note that there are rolling hills and significant inclines on this run. Total: 4.1 miles, with an option to run the 5k.
Although the meeting time is at 12:00pm, we don't start the actual run until around 12:10pm. There will likely be a reserved section for our group if you plan on leaving any personal belongings.
Street parking can be limited in this area. Also, it is a Saturday, and parking meters are active and enforced, especially on MacArthur Blvd. Be mindful of the parking time limits on the street. Please make an effort to arrive early or take public transit. Ghost Town Brewing (Laurel District) is about 2 miles away from Fruitvale 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!
