Event Description

Starting in Palo Alto's Arastradero Park, we run up and into Foothills Park through the 'secret' gate. Hilly for sure, but not extreme, with fabulous single track for about half of the route, this is the classic Palo Alto trail run. The Foothill Park section of the route offers Peninsula and Bay views as well as a sense of the wild.  The long route runs 3 miles along the beautiful, and now flowing(!), Los Trancos Creek. Mapped routes of 7.3 & 13.6 miles.

David Flexo will co-lead this run, these are some of his favorite trails. I will be walking and would welcome company for that.

 

As bit of a special prelude to this Sunday's Trail Run (Arastradero & Foothill Parks, 2/16, 8:20am) we'll be snapping a group photo with a purpose. You see, Zachi has been selected to represent Palo Alto at Palo Alto's sister-city's (Tsuchiura, Japan) Marathon in April! Zachi says:

So, a little extra incentive to join this Sunday's trail run at, fittingly, Palo Alto's premier park system. Wear your PARC clothes on Sunday & represent! 
 
Also, if you're good with a camera then pls bring your gear and help us by snapping a great group shot. And maybe some pix during the run too...

Oh cool! Several members of the Bay Area Japanese Runners are interested in running with us on Sunday.

They plan to bring a Japanese flag and few other things that represent Japan.
Tatsuru says, "I will be running Tokyo marathon in a few weeks, so I will join 7.3mile route."
