hi Trail Women, 

Please join Team LUNA Chix this Saturday 8/9 for a Tilden Park trail run.  

We'll gather at 8:45AM, and depart promptly at 9.  We'll bring plenty of LUNA 

bars and LUNA Moons. 

Meeting Location:  

Tilden Park Steam Trains, Trailhead parking lot 

2501 Grizzly Peak Drive, Berkeley  

This run has a little bit of it all, from narrow single track to sweeping bay views 

to Mt. Diablo views to lake-side scrambling and fence-hopping (totally legal).

There will be a short and long run option (approx ~5 and ~10 miles).

Please bring water.  There is a bathroom at the start/finish and on the longer loop there is a

bathroom/water stop mid-way.  You may want to wear/bring a long-sleeve top as one of 

the single-track trails is a little bit prickly for a very short section. 

Hope to see you Saturday.  Please contact me with any questions.  Email preferred, but on 

the day of the run, please call my cell:  510-914-8376. 

Yours,

Sarah 

Directions:

From I-80, exit Ashby Avenue and head east for ~3-4 miles. 

At the intersection of Ashby/Claremont, turn LEFT on Claremont.  

Drive up Claremont Street, behind the Claremont hotel, to the top of the ridge (about 2 miles).

Turn LEFT on Grizzly Peak Drive.  

After ~1 mile, turn RIGHT into the Steam Trains area at the T-intersection of Lomas Cantadas. 

There are three different parking lots within spitting distance.  Pass the main Steam Trains 

lot and then veer to the Right and slight Left following the sign to the TRAILHEAD lot.
