Alameda Runners – Get After It!

If you’re looking for a running race later this month, the Brazen Racing Bear Creek Half Marathon (10K/5K also available) event will take place on Saturday, June 26.

The event will take place in the East Bay Regional Park District’s Briones Regional Park.  I haven’t explored Briones before, but the course looks very challenging!  Alameda Runners will be represented by Ted, as I’ll be in the Sierra Nevada foothills for a wedding.

Brazen had this to say regarding its upcoming race:

The cut-off for regular registration is this Sunday (6/13).  This is also the deadline for guaranteed t-shirts, so if you want to be sure you get yours in the size you want, register before the end of Sunday.

Also, due to parking issues, the park has asked us to keep the number of participants more or less equal to our last race there (about 400).  Right now we are on track for that, but if we get a rush of sign-ups, we might have to shut down registration.  We’d hate to turn anyone away, so if you’re planning to run, we recommend signing up as soon as possible!

If you’re not quite ready for the course, Brazen still welcomes volunteers (my opinion about volunteers can be found here) for the race.

Brazen’s Bear Creek website is available here, with course info (looks like a tough day) available here.
