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
