Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun Nov 23, 8:45, Lake Chabot Marina

Hi Everyone,
It's time for the run where you can't get lost if you always turn left. We aspire to run around the lake for the 9 mile loop, but assuredly some will turn around for a shorter out and back. Yours truly will still be at a walking clip, but I hope to improve on last week's 40 minute mile.

Water and bathrooms at the start, a couple of bathrooms on the route. Meet by the marina bathrooms.

Directions

To reach the marina entrance from points east, take I-580 westbound to the Strobridge Avenue exit in Castro Valley. Turn right on Strobridge, right on Castro Valley Boulevard, and left on Lake Chabot Road. The Lake Chabot Marina is about two miles ahead on the right.From I-880 take I-238 eastbound to I-580 eastbound, exit at Redwood Road in Castro Valley and go left, go left at Castro Valley Boulevard, and right at Lake Chabot Road. The Lake Chabot Marina is about two miles ahead on the right. From I-580 in Oakland, proceed east and exit at 150th Ave. / Fairmont Drive. Go straight at the first stoplight at the end of the off-ramp and turn left at the second stoplight to proceed east on Fairmont (uphill). Keep going straight where Fairmont merges into Lake Chabot Rd. and the Marina entrance will be on your left.
Enjoy your weekend,
Mike
