Get ready to experience Emeryville like never before at the Emeryville Find-Your-Way 5K, 10K on March 21, 2026. This isn't your average road race; it's a unique map-based adventure designed to immerse you in the quirks, scenery, decor, and history of Emeryville's parks, open spaces, and pathways. Participants, either solo or in teams of up to five, will use a custom-made map (with a 1:3000 or 1:4000 scale) to navigate through the city, discovering up to 30 checkpoints for the 10K or approximately 10 for the 5K, and answering simple multiple-choice questions along the way. The event starts and finishes at Doyle Hollis Park Picnic Site D, ensuring a central and accessible hub for your urban exploration.

This Terraloco event emphasizes strategy and discovery over pure speed, offering a refreshing twist on traditional running. Runners will choose their own routes between checkpoints, making each race experience truly individual. While formal aid stations are not explicitly detailed, participants can look forward to refreshments and socializing at the finish line, fostering a great post-race atmosphere. Given typical race day conditions in late March, expect pleasant weather with highs around 65F and lows near 49F, though there's a 13% chance of precipitation, so come prepared for anything with closed-toed shoes, hats, and sunblock.

Whether you're a seasoned navigator or new to map-based challenges, the Emeryville Find-Your-Way 5K, 10K promises an engaging and memorable exploration of this vibrant California city. Embrace the adventure and discover your own path on March 21, 2026!
