Tarantula Run Returns For Fifth Annual Race Oct. 23

The Los Vaqueros Tarantula Run returns on Saturday, Oct. 23 for its fifth installment.

We are marking the 5k, 10k and half-marathon courses now, and expect to be finished by Aug. 1. This way, you can run our hilly courses in advance of the race and know what you're getting into. Here's a map of the courses, which are unchanged from previous years.

We're also planning on a return of the popular 1K kids' race.

There will be a few changes this year. To protect creatures at Los Vaqueros, we're going to move parking to near the entrance gate. We'll have shuttle buses that will bring you to Kellogg Creek. At Kellogg Creek, we'll have "sweats bags" and a reasonably secure place to store your belongings with a check-in and check-out policy.

We expect to start registration in mid-August.

We'll have more updates as the race gets closer.

Please call (925) 688-8175 or send an e-mail to jfreschi@ccwater.com if you have questions or comments.
