Bad Bass Half Marathon
Bad Bass Half Marathon is a half marathon held in Castro Valley, US, in July. It starts from Lake Chabot Marina and uses the trails around Lake Chabot, a natural lakeside setting in the East Bay that suits runners who like to leave the pavement behind.
The event has a playful identity, built around a fictional Scottish bass character, and it offers more than one way to take part. Alongside the half marathon there are a 10K and a 5K, plus a virtual option for those who prefer to run elsewhere. Walkers and trail enthusiasts can also enter a half marathon hiker category and cover the same distance at a steadier pace.
Brazen Racing organises the day, and proceeds support the youth campership programme of the East Bay Regional Parks Foundation, which helps local children attend summer day camp.
