Welcome to "Streak To Mission Peak"
Pacific Coast Trail Runs and thetrailportal.com welcome you to our 2nd running of "Streak to Mission Peak, part of the 2022 Bay Area "Open Course" series. Mission Peak rising steeply to the east of the city of Fremont, Mission and Monument peaks form a dramatic backdrop to the South Bay. The determined adventurer who reaches the top of Mission Peak will be rewarded with views of Mount Hamilton to the south, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, Mt. Tamalpais to the north, and Mt. Diablo and the Sierra Nevada to the northeast. Hawks and vultures share the summit airspace with sailplanes riding the thermals, and a down-to-earth herd of feral goats roams the cliffs. Take your picture in front of the iconic Post.

How it works
Streak to Mission Peak and the two other races in the series aren't a traditional in-person race--we aren’t all gathering at the same starting line at the same time. This event has an "open course" format, which is a GPS course designed by Pacific Coast Trail Runs and The Trail Portal that allows you to compete against others at your own time and own pace, during a set event time period and in compliance with the local park rules. To compete in the event and earn your race swag you must download and use the RunGo app and when you complete each run, "Upload your Race" to the leaderboard.

Course Description: The Peak Trail from Ohlone College is an enjoyable run / hike to the summit that passes a horse and cattle corral and through light oak-shaded woodlands to vast open grasslands. This trail is part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail You will start on Witherly lane parallel to Mission Blvd running south to Pine Rd. You then start going up and up along the Peak Trail to the Summit taking in spectacular views of the whole Bay Area. Snap a picture in front of "Peaker" the official name of the Post at the summit. The views can look a lot different on the way down and remember it’s a good idea to take some sunglasses along the way for your descent back to Ohlone College. Remember to stop by our vendor partner California Craft Beer right down the street from the start/finish. Do it your way on your time and do it as many times as you want, Then, do it faster the next time ;-)
