The Mother's Day Run - 5K / 5 Mile / Half Marathon

We just got final word from EBMUD who runs the park where we have our races and they say, "NO, we follow the stay in place order".  So sadly, we can not have our races till we get a thumbs up.

We have the exact same distance race categories scheduled for The Fall Showdown, November 14, 2020. It is a part of the Half marathon series 5k/ 5miler/ and Half Marathon. 

A few people have asked me about our no refund policy. I would like to take a minute to explain.  Putting on these events takes over a year of effort, preparation and thousands of dollars. There are many expenses that must be born far in advance of the event. They can include park permits, service contracts, marketing, awards, bibs, supplies, etc.

Without a “no refund policy” to cover extreme situations like the one, we in which currently find ourselves, it would be impossible for small businesses like mine to undertake the risk of holding these events.

We will however transfer your entry to any race that we have for the next year including next year’s Mother’s Day Race. Just pick your race found on the list of “Events” calendar, or next year’s calendar, print the flier and mail it back to me.  Where it says price put in -0-Transferred. We will have the 2021 calendar of events out in October. 

I want to close with a heartfelt thank you for all the support you have given me every year and particularly this year.  You take care, be safe, and keep training !!

Happy Trails,

Wolf

Keep training, and we'll see you at the starting line on 5/9 !!                                        This is our 9th Annual Mother's Day Run with a Half Marathon/5 Miler/and 5K events.  Moms, Dads, and Kids, come join us for a fun event that honors Mother.  A great way to celebrate on Saturday, May 9th, 2020, a day before Mother's Day.  We'll be running our event at the beautiful San Pablo Dam Reservoir - El Sobrante entrance.

A little known Jewel in the East Bay, the San Pablo Dam Reservoir is beautiful. A favorite spot for avid fishermen has always been our favorite place to run and bike. The seasons change the color of the foliage and the beauty of the lake from dramatic sunrises to misty mornings. You will find a new place to train and to do your practice runs. 

Our 9th Annual Wolf Pack Event to honor Mom, on Saturday, not Mother's Day. No greater way to show Mom the Love and to Honor her than to spend some time doing some physically challenging work to stay healthy. Hoping Moms will join in the race, walking is perfect, so they can show us the great shape they are in as well ! Run it or walk it, it's all good for your Health. Looking forward to Moms and Families celebrating Love, Life, and Health for Mother's Day.
