5th Half: The 2nd Annual Oakland Running Festival

Both Clay and I set new personal records for our half marathon pace! We both shaved 4 minutes off of our previous bests.

Couple notes about the race:
  • easy to get to by BART
  • well signed - easy to figure out where to go for bag check, bathrooms, etc.
  • LOVE the Greenlight apparel souvenir race shirts
  • like the 2 free drink tickets after the finish!
  • highly recommended race with 5K, marathon relay, half and full length races

That breaks down to a 9:53 min/mile average pace over 13.1 miles.
My very first half marathon, I ran at a 12 min/mile average pace!
