Event Details

Set along the dirt fire trails of Lake Chalbot in Castro Valley, Calif., the Lake Chalbot Trail Challenge Half Marathon offers a rugged, challenging course for runners, with plenty of hills along a loop course throughout the park. The race takes place just a short drive from the nearby cities of Oakland and San Leandro in the Bay Area, along the lake's 20 miles of hiking trails -- which connect to another 70 miles of trails in nearby Anthony Chalbot Regional Park.

The park's 315 acres play host throughout the year to fishing and boating enthusiasts, as it is stocked with trout and catfish as well as with plenty of rental canoes and tour boats. The park also offers ample hiking, bicycling and jogging trails, and tourists can enjoy seasonal lake tours aboard the park's flagship "Chalbot Queen."

The half marathon time limit is three hours, and all races begin at 8:00 AM (the event also features a 5K race and a free children's fun run for kids under 10).

The month of June brings mild, moderately warm weather to the Castro Valley area, with temperatures that average between 52°F and 73°F. The chance of wet weather during the race is low, as the area sees just over a tenth of an inch of rainfall on average during the month.
