The Oakland Marathon
We had a fantastic weekend at the Oakland Marathon! Running for a Better Oakland had 183 runners participate in the event including over 100 students, 15 coaches and youth coaches, and almost 60 run mentors. After three tough weeks of training at Snow Park in cold, wet weather our community got to put all of their hard work into action at this iconic race through downtown Oakland and around Lake Merritt. It was a beautiful day to run and a terrific way to start our schedule of races and fun runs!
