The second of the Brazen Racing trail runs for 2009, this run will take place at Briones Regional Park on Saturday, August 29, 2009.

Whether you are an experienced trail runner or a first-timer ready to get your feet dirty, you should thoroughly enjoy these races. Hikers/walkers are welcome!

If you are looking for a super-fast, flat, easy course to set a personal record, you are probably in the wrong place. These courses have hills. If, however, you are looking for a great time on the trails, with beautiful scenery, awesome support and unique, high-quality shirts and awards, you have come to the right place!

All runners will receive finisher medals and technical t-shirts (available in gender-specific styles and sizes from youth small up to men's 6XL).

Start times will be: 8:00am for the Half Marathon, 8:10am for the 10K and 8:20am for the 5K.

All races will be professionally timed with electronic chip timing.

Participation will be limited to a total of 350 entrants for all races combined, and we expect to sell out, so we recommend early registration.

About Briones Regional Park

With its rolling, grassy hills and secluded, shady canyons, Briones is a secret wilderness surrounded by the towns of central Contra Costa County. Although the park is close to Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, and Martinez, there are peaks within it from which you can see only park and watershed lands for miles in every direction.

From Briones Peak, the highest point in the park, there are panoramic views of Mount Diablo and the Diablo Valley to the east, the Sacramento River and Delta to the north, the East Bay hills and Mt. Tamalpais to the west, and Las Trampas Regional Wilderness to the south.
