There are big things to come for the 2019 Oakland Running Festival! Not only is it the 10th Anniversary of the event, but we will also be the first Marathon to run over the Bay Bridge! Experience Oakland’s diversity and beauty with a race that touches all aspects of Oaktown, and finishes with one hella awesome party. Come help us celebrate 10 years in Oakland!

Celina Yee-Izon 's thoughts:

I’m not a big fan of virtual races especially for distances that I run weekly but with COVID, virtual races are now the way to go AND Oakland Marathon/Running festival is more than just a race. Oakland Running Festival is about community! A community of people who love Oakland and to run! The medal illustrated the roots of Oakland and the shirt was cleverly designed to represent California and Oakland!

Throughout the week of the Oakland Running Festival, their Facebook pages were blasted with runners proudly boasting where they ran and on race day there were fun trivia facts about Oakland! Who knew Mai tais were invented in Oakland! On the weekend of the race there was some live action in Oakland supporting those who virtually ran the course or wanted more swag. I’ve never seen a virtual race so involved and organized!

I can’t wait for Covid to settle down and for live races to open up! Oakland Marathon has been on my list and I’ll definitely be there next year!
