Bay Bridge Half & 5K - Oakland, California
The Bay Bridge Half & 5K is an event organized by Mascot Sports in Oakland, California, with a scheduled date of May 3, 2026. The program features an inaugural half marathon that crosses the new Bay Bridge and a new 5K added for 2026.
The half marathon departs from West Oakland and proceeds toward the entrance to the bridge path, continuing across the bridge toward Treasure Island. The route includes views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline on the outbound leg. The return course offers views of Oakland cranes, local town-scape, and nearby rolling hills. A finish line festival is staged at the course finish.
The new 5K runs through downtown Oakland. It starts at 3rd Street and Chestnut Street, turns onto Mandela Parkway, continues to 7th Street, and then returns toward the finish, retracing its path to the festival area.
Local partners named by the organizer include Orangetheory, StretchLab, and Oakland Roots. Participant items referenced for 2026 include a finisher medal and a participant long sleeve garment.
