The 34th running of the Lake Chabot Trail Challenge is Sunday, June 4, featuring two races, either a 5K or half marathon.
The half marathon course is a scenic, hilly loop, mainly on dirt fire roads. The ridgeline views look down upon scenic Lake Chabot, surrounding grassy slopes, and eucalyptus groves. Mt. Diablo and San Francisco Bay is visible along the route. There are two first aid/water stations and radio support; we recommend bringing your own hydration as well. The half marathon has a time limit of 3.5 hours. The 5k (3.1 miles) course has gentle rolling hills and consists mostly of paved surfaces. This route includes one water station with first aid and radio support.
Both races are chip-timed with high quality t-shirts for the first 400 participants and finisher’s medals to those who complete their race. Age division medals will be given to the top three in each of the 13 age divisions in the half marathon. Medals given to the top three in each of the age divisions in the 5K.
