Bay Bridge Half and 5K : Oakland, California
The Bay Bridge Half and 5K are organized by Mascot Sports as a community-focused running weekend in Oakland. The event includes an inaugural half marathon course that departs from West Oakland and leads runners to the entrance of the bridge path toward Treasure Island. Along the route participants pass viewpoints with sightlines to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline. The return portion runs past Oakland cranes, town-scape features, and nearby rolling hills.
A separate 5K route runs through downtown Oakland. The 3.1-mile course begins at 3rd Street and Chestnut Street, turns onto Mandela Parkway, continues to 7th Street, and then returns toward the finish-line festival area.
Local partners for the event include Orangetheory, StretchLab, and Oakland Roots. The program highlights coastal views and cityscapes and presents both a longer road race and a shorter downtown course on the same weekend. The listed date for the event is May 2, 2027.
