Running Through The Hood-2019 Oakland Running Festival

Our photos from the 2019 #Oakland #Marathon and Running Festival as it passed through West Oakland.

The Oakland Running Festival has become a long standing tradition in Oakland and changes it route every year.

This year, for instance, the running course ignored East Oakland and concentrated on West Oakland, Lake Merritt and the Downtown areas.

In addition, for the first time ever, the course went over the eastern portion of the Bay Bridge.

Despite some push back from residents, upset at losing their prized parking spots during the

the Sunday hours, for the most part-the runners were cheered on by residents as they made their way around the city.

Be sure to check out our video of the 2019 Running Festival on our YouTube page in the near future.
