About the Event

🤫 SHHH! IT’S A SURPRISE!

You are invited to a birthday celebration unlike any other. To celebrate Alysia turning 40, we are taking over the historic Edwards Stadium at UC Berkeley for a one-mile track event!

Whether you’re looking to set a new Personal Best or just want a fun, nostalgic jog on a legendary track, this event is for you. We’re hosting a series of seeded heats so you’ll be running alongside people at your own pace.

The Details:

Distance: 1 Mile (4 laps of glory).
The Clock: We will have an official timer on-site to capture your results.
The Heats: Heats will be organized by your projected finish time. From elite speedsters to casual walkers, everyone has a place on the start line.
The Price: Entry is $19.86—a tribute to the year the guest of honor was born.
The Cap: Registration is strictly limited to the first 600 runners.
⚠️ THE GOLDEN RULE: > This is a SURPRISE PARTY. Please DO NOT post this link or any mention of this event on social media (Instagram, Facebook, X, etc.). We want Alysia to be completely shocked when she walks into the stadium. Only share this link via direct text or email with friends, family, and colleagues you know would love to join us.

About Berkeley

Scenic view of

Set on sparkling San Francisco Bay, Berkeley will surprise those who recall it as the counter-culture center of the 1960s. Free Speech and flower power are forever in the city "DNA," but Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel destination. You'll still see more tie-dye per capita in Berkeley, but a deeper look reveals a dynamic East Bay city filled with superb theaters, restaurants, and shops. Berkeley's progressive, free-thinking environment has seen the birth of quality attractions, great food from many cultures, and of course the internationally renowned University of California, Berkeley. For a city of just over 100,000 people—barely a medium-sized city in the California context—Berkeley is extremely complex.
