Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun Feb 25, Couples Relay or Skyline Gate

Hi Everyone,
It's time for the Couple's Relay again, the Lake Merritt Joggers and Striders very fun Valentines Month event. This is a true relay in which the female runner is the first to circumnavigate Lake Merritt on a 5K course, followed by the male doing the same. Your coordinators will both be competing. For more information please see lmjs.org.

For those of you committed to trail running, we will designate Skyline Gate as the unofficial weekend run, starting at 8:30 as usual (Ha, Ha).


DIRECTIONS: Skyline Gate can be reached from the Park Ave. exit off Highway 13 in Oakland. Heading north on 13, turn left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp onto Mountain Blvd. Turn right at the third light onto Snake Rd. Heading south on 13, take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp onto Park Ave., a left at the light onto Mountain Blvd., and a right onto Snake Rd. Proceed on Snake Rd. and go straight onto Shepherd Canyon Rd. where Snake takes a sharp left. Proceed up Shepherd Canyon (watch for the sharp hairpin right) until you reach a five way intersection at which you have a stop sign. Turn right onto Skyline Blvd. and look for the Skyline Gate parking lot 0.5 miles on your left.
Have a good weekend,
Mike
