Leader: Jennifer W., Steven C., & Jackie C.

Directions: We’ll meet in front of BJ’s in the Tustin Marketplace at 13130 Jamboree Road, Irvine. Information for the pool party will be provided at the run.

About the Run: The full loop is about 12 miles. We will take a right on Irvine Blvd and run to the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and turn right. We’ll take that to the Walnut trail (which runs parallel to the railroad tracks), and go left. After going over Jeffrey, take the long “exit” to the right that loops around and then go right on Jeffrey. Go over the 5 Freeway, and at Roosevelt, go onto the Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) heading north. Follow the trail to the end at Portola. Go left for about one block and veer left onto the Hicks Canyon Trail. Take that to the end onto the Mountains-to-Sea trail. Run back to Irvine Blvd and to the parking lot.

One way to lengthen the route is to take the Walnut trail to Sand Canyon. Go left, and run under the 5 Freeway, and just past the north on/off ramp, turn left onto the Cypress Village Trail which becomes the Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST). Then continue with route described above.

The route can be shortened by taking the Venta Spur to JOST.

After the Run: Pool Party and potluck.
