Oakland

Oakland's race calendar runs straight up into the East Bay hills — Redwood Regional Park anchors the Oakland Hills Trail Run and both the spring and summer Redwood Trail Runs, with routes winding past old-growth redwoods, eucalyptus groves, and ridgeline views across San Francisco Bay. Closer to the water, the Oakland Marathon and Bay Bridge Half Marathon keep the road calendar busy, and the Cinderella Trail Run adds another ultra-distance option in the hills.
