Overview
One of the last events of the year in a series of some 30 races staged across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California throughout the year by the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based Coastal Trail Runs, along a combination of mostly trail and some road races, the ZombieRunner Halloween Run makes its 11th annual running this year.
While in previous years, the race had been run from the Baylands Athletic Center on Geng Road, just off Embarcadero Road near Palo Alto, a couple of years ago, and then to nearby Campbell, where runners ran along Los Gatos Creek Trail, this year’s race starts and finishes at San Jose’s Hellyer County Park.
Course Description
Once they leave the starting line in the park near the waterfront, runners will head out onto the trails and run south, along the Coyote Creek Trail to Metcalf Park and back.
The trails for the race are flat and fast for most of the race route, with the exception of some minor elevation changes, and made up mostly of asphalt surfaces, along with some crushed rock surfaces.
