Sobre o evento
Please to announce year 4 of the For the Love of the Bay 5/10K run and walk at Lake Merritt!!
So excited to have this event again. From the people attending to the awesome medals we have had in the past, unique shirt designs, volunteers and of course our amazing sponsors, the event the past few years have been fantastic!!! Great finishing times, great weather, a colorful and inclusive Bay Area vibe and all smiles at the finish line. This year, we expect the event to be even better and more fun!!! And that's what a 5/10K should be. Fun for all with a the mix of community involvement, friendly competition and families coming out, all in the name of Love for the Bay.
We are encouraging people of all walks of life, tall and short, thin and wide, fast and slow to come out. Whether you are a strong runner, casual walker or family with a stroller, this is an event that we feel embodies the diversity and unique culture of the Bay Area!! For some of you, this will be your first time at Lake Merritt where the run takes place. It's a beautiful lake and park and we intend to have it looking and feeling fun and friendly for all.
We have done our BEST to make the event especially affordable. We want to help lower the barrier of entry for families and those who typically cannot afford the high registration cost of many of the weekend run events these days. The cost of entry for some of these races in the Bay Area are a joke. Especially working with major sponsors who fun their entire run. The money goes into these pockets of the organizers who sing the praises or Oakland but only because the profit they make from coming here to produce events like this for the elite. These community events shouldn't break yours or your family's pocketbook. We have no staff of 50 to pay. No run company administration to pay. The money we collect for the run goes straight back into the management of the run.
