Well-known in the Oakland and San Francisco Bay area for its many miles of hiking, riding and bicycling trails, public campgrounds, and fishing on Lake Chabot at its southern end, the more than 5,000-acre Anthony Chabot Regional Park plays host in January to the annual running of California’s Brazen New Year Runs.
All of the races in the event — including a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon that take runners along several of the park’s hilly, scenic hiking trails — will start and finish at the Lake Chabot Marina, which lies at the southernmost point of the lake, near both Lake Chabot Road and Fairmount Drive.
From there, those running the 5K and the 10K will follow out-and-back routes; the 5K will be run entirely on paved trails, while the 10K will feature a mix of paved and natural-surface trails.
