Pack this
- Light running shell or throwaway layer for a cool 13°C start
- Gels or chews: one every 40-45 minutes, plus one before the start
- Handheld 500ml bottle with electrolyte tabs, or rely on course aid stations
- Photo ID and registration confirmation for bib pickup
- Anti-chafe balm and a dry change of clothes for after the finish
What you should know
- Check the official site for the half marathon time limit and pace cutoffs before race day.
- Roads reopen behind the course sweep; runners falling behind pace may be asked to move to sidewalks.
- Confirm bib pickup times and location in advance, as race-morning pickup may not be offered.
- Oakland streets include some rolling sections, so hold back early and save energy for later miles.
- Cool mornings can warm up quickly; drink small amounts at aid stations rather than skipping early ones.
