Albany Runners at Berkeley Half Marathon have a Blast!

Sunday, November 24, 2013 was the first Berkeley Half Marathon. The weather was perfect for this 13.1 mile run, no wind, gentle sun, and mild temperatures. Over 30 Albany RATS (Run Around Town Sundays) runners participated. Some of the Albany runners achieved personal best times, including runner Carl, with a running time of 1:47:25, and Jim (Masters Division) with a 1:42:39. Members of the Berkeley Running Club (BRC) had some of the fastest runners, including Maria with an impressive 1:24:37, and Anya at 1:46:01. Albany and Berkeley have a passion for running, and this race highlighted that appx 8,000 are not afraid to show it! The running community hopes that this will become an annual event, and look forward to running next year!
