Sante Adairius Oakland Arbor Lake Merritt Run

We'll be at one of California's best breweries, Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (SARA). We will meet at SARA's Oakland taproom (The Arbor) and run a 5k (or 4.56 miles - your choice), and then return for drinks and snacks (available inside the bar). For the 5k, we will run 1.55 miles out to near the cathedral and turnaround back to SARA. The 5-miler will take us around the lake and back. Although the meeting time is at 6:30pm, we don't start the actual run until around 6:40pm. We will meet in the space located directly behind the bar. This is accessible by going through the bar and walking past the back patio or you can simply walk around the building. Like several places in Oakland, there are car break-ins in the area, and so, please do not leave anything in your car to tempt the thieves. We'll have someone watching our stuff at Sante Adairius while we're running. The Arbor is located near 12th Street BART, plenty of street parking (plus a secured parking spot next to the bar available for a fee), and there's plenty of bike parking. The bar is dog friendly. Like all runs, we will do our best to prevent people from getting lost (verbal directions are often provided beforehand and/or QR code with directions is printed), and we are very flexible when it comes to pace and distance. All levels of running and drinking experience are welcome!
