Alameda Runners – Get After It!

If you’re looking to run for an extended period of time (in this case, six or 12 hours), this is the blog entry for you!  Our friends at Brazen Racing are hosting the Dirty Dozen Endurance Run at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline.

Runners can tackle the event solo, or have teams of two or three runners.  The event circles a 5K mile loop that is mainly dirt fire trails that is best described as a “gentle” course.  (Course info is available here).

If you’ve been thinking about participating in a similar event but don’t know if you can do it, I’d like to point you to this race tip from Brazen:

Few are expected to run without any break the whole time. Walk breaks are advised. Runners will also pass through the start/finish area with each loop and will have the chance to stock up on fuel, change shoes or clothing, visit friends, etc.

Here is a FAQ page for the event, and here is a link to the main page.

If you’ll have some friends and family close by, they can create an unofficial aid station just for you.
