May 18: Bay Area Baseball 5k Run/Walk and Kids’ Run
Pacifica Runners is presenting another incredible opportunity for Pacifica to get active! The Bay Area Baseball 5k will take place on Sunday, May 18. Registration opens at 8am. The run/walk will start at 9am. Participants and spectators are encouraged to deck themselves out in baseball gear. We expect to see hordes of orange and black and green and yellow. Participants will be cheering each other along as they go and chants of “Let’s go Giants” and “Let’s go A’s” are encouraged.
The run will start at the Linda Mar Beach bathrooms. There is a paid parking lot available and carpooling is recommended. From the start, the walkers/runners will head north on the Linda Mar paved path up the hill, down the switchbacks, beside Nicks Restaurant and in front of Moonraker onto the Quarry trail where they will eventually turn around and head back to the start after a glorious 3.1 miles. There they will be greeted with water and snacks.
