NorCal 2×10-Mile Challenge

Ready to go the distance? Twice?! The NorCal 2×10-Mile Challenge is a special event series that invites runners to conquer two 10-mile races in one year:

The Challenge:

Take on the challenge of completing both races in the series, and at the second finish line, you’ll earn a “Challenge Hoodie” to commemorate your accomplishment.

Or push yourself to new limits and earn a special “Sub-Club” designation on your “Challenge Hoodie” when your combined finishing time for both races falls under one of the following thresholds:

  • Sub – 3:00 Club
  • Sub – 2:40 Club
  • Sub – 2:20 Club
  • Sub – 2:00 Club

Each “Sub Club Hoodie” will feature a custom embroidery/print on the side, highlighting the time threshold you achieved.
All runners who run both races and obtain a combined time over 3:00 will still receive a “Challenge Hoodie” without the “sub-club” embellishment.

  • Your combined finishing time will determine your “Sub-Club” designation eligibility.

How to Participate:

Register for SACTOWN
Register for Alameda
  • Complete Both Races:
  • Claim Your “Challenge Hoodie”:
    • At the finish line of the Alameda 10-Miler, visit the NorCal 2×10-Mile Challenge Table.
    • Show your official race results from both events.
    • Your combined finishing time will determine your Sub Club Hoodie eligibility.
Sub Club Example:
  • SACTOWN 10-Miler finish time: 1:20:02
  • Alameda 10-Miler finish time: 1:17:06
  • Combined time: 2:37:08
  • Result: Congratulations! You qualify for the Sub 2:40 Club and can pick up your free Sub Club hat with your club time displayed on the side!
Additional Details:
  • No additional sign-ups or fees are required to participate in the challenge.
  • Simply show up, race hard, and claim your reward at the Alameda 10-Miler finish line.
Good luck and see you at the finish line. Twice!
