About the Jessie’s 45th Bday 5k Run/Walk
This is a birthday celebration organized as a run/walk along the Bay Farm Ferry and Bay Farm Bridge area in Alameda. The route is flat and along the waterfront, and the pace is genuinely open to anyone. The decade-themed costume element is the main character here: neon, headbands, leg warmers, and retro gear are all encouraged.
The event is casual by design, built around friends and family joining the birthday person for a morning out. An RSVP is requested so the organizer can plan accordingly. Beyond that, just show up dressed for the decade and ready to move at whatever pace suits you.
