Calendar of events
Saturday Run - San Joaquin Marsh/turtle rock loop
Leader: Cathy Shargay
Location: Wholesome Choice, 18040 Culver Dr., Irvine
Directions: Culver and Michelson, Irvine.
About the Run: Cross Culver, and run along Michelson. After crossing Harvard and bridge over river, make a left into the San Joaquin Marsh. There are many trails through the marsh around multiple ponds (any route works – just head away from the mountains). One option will be marked with chalk or flour. Come out on Campus and go left towards University. Cross bridge and go left on bike trail along University. After ¼ mile, just before the Korean Church, take the path going towards the right. In 100 yards, this path hits University near the intersection of University and Harvard, go left, cross both University and Harvard, and continue down University about 150 yards to an entrance to Mason park on the right. Enter and follow the trail towards the left which runs parallel to University. When this trail hits Culver in 0.6 miles, cross at the light, and reenter the trail just slightly up the road to the right. After another 0.6 miles, there is a triangle in the trail, and take the right heading towards Turtle Rock. The trail crosses one small street, and just past the water fountain, take the trail branch going up to the street, and you’ll see the intersection of Campus and Turtle Rock loop. Go around the 4.1 mile loop (I prefer going counterclockwise, but either way works). When back to Campus, go right, and right on Culver back to the start. Maps will be provided, and we’ll mark many of the turns with chalk or flour.
About 10.6 miles (easy to add more miles)
After the Run: Mag’s Donuts and Bakery, Wholesome Choice or Subway - meet at outdoor seating near Subway
Monday Night Club Run from Citrus Ranch Park
Location: Meet at Citrus Ranch Park in Tustin. Public restrooms and drinking fountains are available at the start.
Time: The run starts at 6:15 PM, so please arrive 10-15 min early to find parking and the group.
Pace and Distance - All levels of runners are welcome to join us. This run is out and back, so the distance is self-set. There are also several different routes available. Some walk, some do walk/run intervals, and some will run the whole distance.
Routes - We'll run out along Peters Canyon Trail taking us into Peters Canyon Regional Park. The route is out and back, so the distance is self set. There are many ways to add more distance. You can do a loop around the reservoir or take the ridge route for some very challenging hills. In case of rain, the Peters Canyon trails may be closed. Run leaders may advise running the “down route” south towards Tustin (as opposed to North to Peters Canyon) with the turn around at Bryan.

Saturday Run - 3 Piers
Leader: Kelcey Kinjo
Location: Meet at the Newport Beach Pier. Arrive early for parking (can pay by card or phone at the metered lot or find nearby street parking).
Directions: From the 5 Freeway to 55-S, follow signs to the Newport Beach Pier. Search “Sharkeez Newport Beach” on Google Maps for exact directions to the pier/pier parking lot.
About the Run: This is a club favorite that starts/ends at the Newport Beach Pier and takes us on endless flat miles along the beach! Most of the club will start from the Newport Pier and head north towards the HB Pier for an 11.1 mile out-and-back run, which can easily be shortened or extended for your desired mileage. Another option is to run south towards the Breakers (passing the CDM Pier) for a 5.75 mile out-and back. To get the three piers, you can start before the run to do the 5.75 mi Breakers run, then meet the club at the start to run the HB Pier run together. Restrooms and water fountains are available throughout the run, primarily clustered closer to the HB Pier.
After the Run: There are great deals on breakfast at Baja Sharkeez. Other options nearby are The Helmsman or Charlie’s Chili.

About the Run: Head out toward the trailhead at the end of the Ridge Park Road cul-de-sac. Run is on scenic trails that offer great views of the coastal bluff vegetation and wildlife.

Saturday Run - TOUR OF UCI (NEW RUN)
Leader: AJ Shaka
Directions: Meet at Chaupain Bakery, 2622 San Miguel Dr., Newport Beach.
About the Run: This is a fun 10.5 mile run with an outer and inner loop around UCI - check out the map link below! From the starting parking lot, we will go down Prairie Road, immediately turning right on Bonita Canyon, passing by St. Matthew’s Church. At Chambord, we cross Bonita Canyon, to run on the other side, with a wide sidewalk at no interruptions. At about 1.5 miles, at the intersection with Anteater Drive, we turn left and head toward the main UCI campus. At California Ave, a left turn leads to a hill climb into University Hills. Staying on California Ave, we sweep around in a gradual arc. California becomes Los Trancos which we take past some new construction to East Peltason. Turn left on East Peltason and run downhill (one side has sidewalk, the other is packed dirt-- take your choice) to the stoplight, Michael Drake.
Taking a left turn, we run along Drake (which becomes Bison) until we reach California Ave (a different one!), turn right and run through the industrial park, until Academy Way. Turn right on Academy Way and then left on West Peltason Drive. Crawford Hall Athletics will be on the left, and a large storage tank with the Anteater mascot will be on the right. Passing the Bren Events Center, take a right-hand turn onto Pereira and run, parallel to Campus Drive, a short distance until the Irvine Barclay Theater and Rose Garden appear on the left. Turn right into the Bus Loop by the Main Admin building (mile 5.7), go up the stairs and then make a counterclockwise loop along the Ring Mall road. We'll see all the main buildings on campus.
After the 360° Ring Mall loop, we continue along Pereira in the same direction, going past the Law School. A left turn (still called Pereira) leads to the intersection with East Peltason. Here we cross East Peltason and then bear left on South Adobe Circle, past the student dorms. South Adobe curves around and meets California Ave where we turn right and then an immediate left onto Arroyo Drive. Graduate student housing is along this segment. At Vista del Campo, a left turn connects us back to Culver Drive. Cross to the other side and then take Culver (which becomes Bonita Canyon) all the way back to Prairie road, where a left turn will lead back to the parking lot where we started. Possible Tour of Lab after run - more info to come.

Saturday Run - Aliso Woods/Top of the World
Leader: Laura Rickoff
Location: Aliso Wood Canyons starting at the West Ridge Trailhead (at the top of Cholla trail) near 63 or 66 Hollyleaf in Aliso Viejo). NOTE: No restrooms at the start, and we need to be quiet to respect the neighbors.
Directions: From Irvine, go south on the 5, exit Lake Forest. Go right at the end of the ramp, left on Moulton Pkwy, and then follow a GPS to the address shown above.
About the Run: Mostly loop course, 9 to 11.5 miles on mainly dirt trails. Bring water and consider trail shoes.
Follow the ridge trail at the top of the hill, past the intersections with Cholla, Lynx, Rock-It and Mathis trails to Top to the World and Alta Laguna park (2.3 miles). There are restrooms and a water fountain at the park. Continue straight on Alta Laguna Blvd for 1.2 miles until the road ends, and take trailhead on the right. Run behind the houses on the trail, until it comes to the partially-paved ridge trail and go right (there will be beautiful ocean views if it is not foggy). In 0.3 miles, go left on Meadows Trail. This is a steep downhill section with lots of switchbacks. At the bottom of the trail, turn left for the 9 mile loop or go right towards the water treatment plant (mostly on the road), out for 1.25 miles and then turn back. For both routes, turn left at Woods Canyon Trail (at the outhouses) which are 0.4 miles from the bottom of Meadows Trail (when going left at the bottom of Meadows). Follow Woods Canyon Trail for 3 miles, and make a left on Cholla trail which will take us back to our cars.

Grand Prix Race: Metrolink Mile
Tradition continues!
August is our mile race and our Grand Prix committee came up with a great course.
Meet on the Walnut Trail where we drop down to the tracks for our Thursday summer runs. The race starts 1 mile up towards Sand Canyon (see photo). Come out and run for free on this perfect downhill section!
No pre-registration required. Just show up on time and provide your anticipated finish time. The race will likely have 3 heats divided by pace.
Wear your SCRR gear! We’re taking a new group photo before the race to use on our website and in emails. After the race, various groups will be running extra miles and we plan to meet at Everyday Eatery for a brunch, and have drivers available to shuttle members back to their cars.
After run route:
The short/direct route should be just under 2.5 miles, and you’ll run down Walnut Trail towards Jeffrey Road to San Canyon Avenue. On Sand Canyon, turn right and run along Sand Canyon to Irvine Center Drive. Turn left onto Irvine Center Drive into the Sand Canyon Plaza, where you’ll find Everyday Eatery.
The long run route will be approximately 7 miles (you may need to do a couple of parking lap loops to get to 7.) In this run, you’ll run up Walnut trail towards Culver instead, to Harvard Avenue. Make a left on Harvard and run along the path to Barranca Parkway. (*Similarly, just past Harvard, you can take the Mountains to the Sea Trail to Barranca.)

Pace and Distance - All levels of runners are welcome to join us. This run is out and back, so the distance is self-set. There are also several different routes available. Some walk, some do walk/run intervals, and some will run the whole distance.
Routes - We'll run out along Peters Canyon Trail taking us into Peters Canyon Regional Park. The route is out and back, so the distance is self set. There are many ways to add more distance. You can do a loop around the reservoir or take the ridge route for some very challenging hills. In case of rain, the Peters Canyon trails may be closed. Run leaders may advise running the “down route” south towards Tustin (as opposed to North to Peters Canyon) with the turn around at Bryan.
Our Monday night runs are co-hosted by RunOC from Meetup. Check them out here: Run OC (Irvine, CA) | Meetup

Saturday Run - QUAIL HILL TRAIL RUN
Leader: Scott LaRuffa
Location: We will be starting at the Quail Hill Shopping Center 6783 Quail Hill Pkwy in the parking lot between Starbucks and Bank of America.
About the Run: Reps from Brooks and Altra will be demoing trail shoes, and multiple running clubs are invited. So if you want to demo a shoe, get there early.
Runners can go a few different routes from this starting point. The easier route is an out and back along the smooth dirt path through Shady Canyon for approximately 6 miles. The other option is up the single track trail behind the community center. To keep it simple, we will do an out and back on the main Serrano Ridge Trail for up to 12 miles.
There are several other options if you want to go longer. Unless you plan on going down to the Nix Center, there is no water on this route, so make sure to bring your own.
After the Run: Starbucks

Leader: Karine Parry
Directions: From Jamboree and PCH, head down Jamboree towards the ocean. Make the first right onto Bayside Dr. Go into the first driveway on the right, into the shopping center. Park near the Union Bank, which is just ahead towards the right.
About the Run: About 13 miles total, on an out and back route (can be adjusted to be shorter or longer as needed). First, we’ll go up to PCH and run to Big Corona, using the same route as the last 2.5 miles of the Spyglass Run (from PCH, go right on Avocado, left on 2nd and right on Goldenrod). From Big Corona, we’ll run down Ocean to Poppy and back to PCH, and then go right and run 0.8 miles along PCH (on the sidewalk) to Crystal Cove Trail (just past Pelican Point).
The trails stays on the bluffs for 2.3 miles (with options to run on the beach), and for the last one mile, it is down on the sand! Touch the rock cliff at the end of the beach to make it official, and then turn and head back. There will be water and restrooms at the bluffs overlooking Crystal Cove state beach.
