Lace up for the Nitro Trail Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K on May 30, 2026, and experience the historic Point Pinole Regional Shoreline Park in San Pablo, CA. This event, the original Brazen Racing creation, promises a beautifully scenic journey through a hidden gem of the East Bay. Runners will traverse primarily fire trails, featuring gentle rolling hills and flats, with some sections on a paved walking/bike path. The course offers panoramic vistas of the San Pablo Bay, showcasing views of seven counties and multiple bridges, alongside fragrant eucalyptus groves and vibrant wildflowers. The elevation gain is minimal, starting around 10 feet and reaching a high point of approximately 75 feet, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned trail runners and those new to the off-road experience.

The Nitro Trail Half Marathon provides a unique two-loop course, allowing participants to soak in the stunning bay views twice. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout the courses, with the half marathon featuring six well-stocked stops offering water, sports drink, gels, pretzels, and candy. Ample bathroom facilities are available at the start/finish area and at four points along the course, which half marathoners will pass twice. Typical race day conditions in late May bring comfortable highs around 72°F and lows around 51°F, with a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent organization, the Nitro Trail races are perfect for all abilities, including walkers and hikers, with a dedicated "Hiker Division" for the half marathon. Participants consistently praise the amazing views and the well-produced nature of this Brazen Racing event. Whether you're seeking a fast and flat trail run or simply wish to enjoy the natural beauty and history of Point Pinole, the Nitro Trail offers an unforgettable race day experience.
