What you should know
- Check the official site for bib pickup times and location, as race-morning pickup may not be offered.
- Roads reopen on a schedule, so confirm the published pace cutoff before committing to a slow target.
- Mild 15°C weather still calls for regular sips at aid stations, roughly every 15-20 minutes.
- Oakland's course has some rolling sections, so hold back on early climbs and save energy for the finish.
- Arrive early for road closures and parking near the Kaiser Center, and know where gear check is.
