    Run Portola Valley Trails, Wunderlich or Huddart Parks

    See www.portolavalley.net for town trail map.
    1. Park Windy Hill car park on Portola Road. Beginner Run - up Willowbrook - easy grade warm up, go up Toyon and round via Water Tower (either way) run back behind Sequoias - guess about 3-4 ... Read moremiles.
    2. Windy Hill Car Park. Run along trails to Hamms Gulch - either up Hamms Gulch - zigzags, down Razor Back and along Eagle Trail to bottom of Hamms Gulch - back on trails
    3. Run up main Windy Hill trail - steep runs - have to be good to run it - and along Lost Trail to Hamms Gulch and back.
    4. Wunderlich - has car park and several trails
    5. Huddart - can go warm up along trails to Phleger Reserve then up Phleger and back.
    6. There's always the Stanford dish - but the surface is paved. Parking maybe easier on Alpine Road.

    Mountain view -Shore line

    Hi,
    I was wondering if any one is interested in running at Shoreline park in the evenings.
    I live around Santa Clara/mountain view and Los Gatos is too far for me. I like the stevens creek meet idea, but I am not a morning person and ... Read morethey do not meet in the evenings.
    Let me know if any one is interested. The track need not be shoreline. Just any place near santa Clara but in the evenings.

    Thanks!

    Afternoon trail run at Alum Rock Park

    Is anyone interested in doing an afternoon run on a weekday at Alum Rock Park before commute traffic begins? I only see early morning runs and after work runs posted here, but there's usually a lot of traffic during this time and the ... Read more locations are far from where I live. Alum Rock Park is one of my favorite trails and it's usually a 6.7 mile route that I run. Even on a hot day, there is usually a lot of shade, so it's still pleasant. I start at the entrance and it is flat for the first 2 miles and then there are switchbacks that are challenging and fun. I could go Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays as early as 1pm and am flexible with time. Let me know if you are interested or have any suggestions.

    Hash Run

    Has this group ever done a hash run? I've run them before with a couple groups, and it is always a lot of fun. Someone goes out in front and marks a trail with white flour- the rest of the group has to follow the trail to find ... Read moretreats (often beer) at the end.

    We'd need a densely wooded park with lots of intersections/connecting trails to make the run interesting. Any ideas?
