Common Questions About the Grizzly Peak Trail Run

Will I finish last at the Grizzly Peak Trail Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 1:15:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:29:36, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Grizzly Peak Trail Run a good first 10K?

It is a small race (79 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Grizzly Peak Trail Run?

The 10K winner ran 41:56 while the median finisher took 1:15:54. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.

Where can I train for the Grizzly Peak Trail Run?

Join a local run club. Berkeley Running Club and others in Berkeley welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
