El Cerrito Residents Invited to Ohlone Greenway Fun Day

The City is hosting the Ohlone Greenway Fun Day on Saturday, May 31, 2014 to celebrate the recent renovation of the Ohlone Greenway, the 2.7 mile multi-use trail that runs the length of El Cerrito.

The event will encourage people of all ages to ride, jog, walk or roll along the Greenway and include activities like a "discovery passport" activity and bicycle obstacle course. The course starts at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station “Willow Street” parking lot and finish at the El Cerrito D.M.V. Parking lot, 6500 Manila Avenue, where there will be a celebration including music by DJ worldOnelove, informational tables about biking, walking, gardening and other tips for healthy living, and more!

    Riders (approx 5km) will begin at 9:15am - All riders must wear a helmet.
    Runners (approx 5km route) will begin at 9:45am
