Oakland marathon preview run

Led by Lake Merritt Joggers & Striders

Lake Merritt Joggers & Striders

When: Sunday, February 9th @ 8AM

Where: Snow Park, Oakland

Join Lake Merritt Joggers & Striders (LMJS) & the Oakland Marathon for this year’s official course preview run!

The LMJS Marathon Training Program runners have been at it for weeks, and will tackle a big portion of the race day courses. Come join the fun! LMJS pacers will lead runners on 9 mile (half marathon trainees) or 20 mile (full marathon trainees) routes throughout Oakland. 

Thanks to our nutrition partners GU and Voli, you’ll get to sample similar products that will be available on race day. Light food & drinks will be provided post-run as well!

Warmup starts at 8 a.m., then we’ll begin the run. Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in. Questions? Email [email protected] or DM the LMJS Instagram

The course preview run is limited to 200 participants and you must RSVP via the button above. Even if you are not (yet!) registered for the Oakland Marathon, we do encourage you to come out & join the community!

Note: if you’re already running with the LMJS Marathon Training Program, there is no need to register.
