Medals Arrive For Tarantula Run

We just got our medals in for the Tarantula Run, and really like them.

We'll be giving medals for the first-through third in each of the age groups. We'll also have medals for all the participants in the Kid's Run.

The medals are metal, and for the first time are painted.

We hope you like them as well.

Also this year, we'll have free tarantula gummy bears.

After This Year, The Tarantula Run Will Go Into Hiatus

Most-likely, there will not be a Tarantula Run next year due to the planned expansion of the Los Vaqueros Dam and Reservoir.

Heavy construction activity for the expansion is expected to begin in early 2011 and will make it impossible to hold a safe race a year from now.

The Contra Costa Water District expects to host the Tarantula Run again once construction is complete and the trails are reopened to the public.
