East Bay Dirt Classic

Thank you all for making last year’s East Bay Dirt Classic an incredible success! In total we raised more than $50,000 for the Alameda County Community Food Bank between proceeds from the event and associated fundraising. 

This year we are running the Second Annual East Bay Dirt Classic on Saturday September 7th, 2019. While the course details are being finalized, it will be similar to last year in that the long course will be a mixed terrain event and incorporate classic trails from Chabot, Redwood, Joaquin Miller and Tilden Parks. There will also be a shorter option for those who prefer. And yes, the course markings will be much easier to follow this year…

There will be loads of prizes on offer for top 3 male and female finishers in both events as well as KOM/QOM prizes. 

This year participation will be limited to the first 100 people (total in both categories). .    

Please continue to check this site for updates and for photos and results from last year’s event.

Thank you again for your interest and your support of the Alameda County Community Food Bank! We hope to see you on September 7th!   

2019 is here, and planning for the second EBDC is in full effect! Stay tuned for updates

Get your photos here on Google Photos while they’re hot! See how long it took you to make it to the end!

The inaugural EBDC has ended without a hitch! We raised exactly $51,501.63 for the Alameda County Community Food Bank and had a heck of a good time! We’re busy pulling photos and results together and will post them here and email them out to all the riders.

More to come soon!

Tomorrow!

Skyline Blvd and Weaver Place

8:45am for the Long Route

9:45am for the Short Route

 

The very first East Bay Dirt Classic is on its way! Clear your calendar for August 18th, register online, and get ready for an epic dirt ride. The full course is an ass-kicking 45 miles long, with over 5,500 feet of elevation. Recover at the end with beer and a BBQ lunch, and enter our raffle to raise money for the Alameda County Community Food Bank and win some great prizes.

After some hard core testing, we’ve decided to split the event into two courses: the Full Route and the Short Route. The Short Route will be 25 miles, 3000 feet of climbing, and will start at 10:00am. The Full Route will be 45+ miles, 5,500 feet of climbing, start one hour earlier at 9:00am, and be hard as hell!

Also, anybody who pre-registers on the web site will get a sweet T-Shirt at the event! Woo!

Adrian and Chad did a trial run of the trail for this year. Check out the first half and the second half on their Strava pages, or watch the Relive videos below. We’ll have a full RideWithGPS route sheet up as soon as everything is set in stone.

*UPDATE* – we’ve split the event up into the full route and the short route. The routes below make up the tentative Full Route.
