**Oakland Redwoods 5k/10k/Half**

[GGRC Race Coordinator]

The next race on GGRC's 2018 Race Calendar is coming up in one month! It's the Oakland Redwoods 5K/10K/Half Marathon, put on by our very own Phil Oreste.

Details: Saturday, July 28, 2018. Register here! (There is a discount code for GGRC members! "GGRC2018".)

This is GGRC's first trail race of 2018. Never done a trail race before? Not sure what to expect? This is the best opportunity for you to try it out before GGRC's next trail race, the North Face Endurance Challenge, in November. 

I guarantee you will have an amazing time at this race. Trail races are more low-key than road races. It tends to be more of a community type event. No one (not many people) are particularly concerned with their times. Many people walk at least part of the course. There is almost always beer at the finish line.

Phil Oreste puts on a whole series of races throughout the year. Look how much fun we all had at the last one, on Angel Island!

Hi guys! In case it's not clear: for those of you who need rides, assign yourself to a car! I have two open spots in my car, for example.

If you have a car, please offer to carpool, so that we can get everyone to the event!!!
