Sat 05/19/2012 Wildcat Half Marathon/10K/5K El Sobrante, CA 8 am Join us for a Half Marathon, 10K and 5K offering spectacular views of the entire Bay Area! 2,430 acres of land extending north from Tilden Park, Wildcat Canyon Regional Park is normally inaccessible to trail runs due to a lack of staging area. Thanks to a generous concession by the East Bay Waldorf School (which sits next to a trailhead), however, we are finally able to make these incredible trails available for a run you won't soon forget! Views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Mount Tamalpais, the Bay and even the ocean await you. Trails are primarily fire trails with a few very short sections of paved trail (less than 10%).
