About the Alameda Island Running Festival
The race starts and finishes at City Hall West on Alameda Point, with a health and wellness expo set up on the grass nearby. The course is island running, flat and urban, with several distance options spread across the weekend. Strollers are welcome, and walkers are encouraged alongside runners.
Packet pickup happens at a local shop on Park Street the days before the race, with additional pickup available at the start area on race morning. The post-race area around the finish includes the expo grounds, giving you somewhere to linger after you cross.
