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.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Alameda Island Running Festival has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
