Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun Sept 6,8:45, Lake Chabot Marina

Hi Everyone,
We will do our labor of love around Lake Chabot (well, lets say beside) this Sunday. There is water at the start and many bathroom opportunities in the first couple of miles. I'm planning a 6+ mile out and back, the loop around the lake is about 9 miles. Gather near the snack bar and bathrooms at the Marina at 8:45. There is a parking fee for the marina lot (plug: unless your a member of the Regional Parks Foundation), however free parking is available nearby on Lake Chabot Rd.

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
