Leader: Mayra Hernandez

Location: Meet in the parking lot of Trader Joe's and Peet's Coffee at 4213 Campus Dr in Irvine.

Directions: 405 north or south, exit Culver, head south (towards ocean), turn right on Campus, turn right on Stanford, turn left into the University Town Center shopping center.

About the Run: Run begins with a half-mile jog along Campus to the San Diego Creek Trail/Mountains to the Sea Trail, which runs parallel to University Dr. From Campus, make a right onto the trail so you can make a quick U-turn and take the underpass down the trail towards the Back Bay. From the Mountains to the Sea Trail, when you reach Jamboree, turn left for the “standard” (clockwise) Back Bay route or right to run the counterclockwise “wrong way Back Bay” route. It’s about 14.5 miles if you run the full Back Bay loop from UCI, and you can easily run any mileage as an out-and-back run.

Since Sunday will be a race day for many club members, most will be doing shorter distances (2-6 miles) by running out-and-back.

After the Run: Lots of breakfast and coffee options in the shopping center, and we’ll meet outside of Peet’s.
