Bay Bridge Half and 5K, Oakland
The Bay Bridge Half is presented by Mascot Sports as the first ever half marathon to cross the new Bay Bridge. The event offers a half marathon and a new 5K held in and around Oakland, with organizers noting partnerships with local groups such as Oaklandish, Old Kan Beer, and Oakland Roots.
The half marathon departs from West Oakland and moves toward the bridge path, continuing toward Treasure Island. The course provides views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline on the outbound leg, and returns past Oakland cranes, townscape, and rolling hills. The event describes exclusive access to the bridge path for the race.
The new 5K follows a roughly 3.1 mile route through downtown Oakland. It starts at 3rd Street and Chestnut Street, turns onto Mandela Parkway, continues to 7th Street, and then retraces toward the finish line and festival area.
