Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun
@baylandsnatruepres.bsky.social
We are a free, family-friendly 5K run/walk held every Saturday morning at 8:00 AM in Baylands Nature Preserve, near the Lucy Evans Baylands Interpretive Nature Center along the bay in Palo Alto CA. For more info, www.parkrun.us/baylandsnaturepreserve/
We have some disappointing news. Unfortunately, Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun will not be able to continue operating. Planned construction in the area means the landowner can’t guarantee a safe and consistent course going forward.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: There is no Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun event tomorrow, December 20th, or the following Saturdays, the 27th. We are working to bring events back next year. Mace Ranch parkrun is a fine alternative. www.parkrun.us/maceranch/

Very well said.
To all parkrunners across Australia as you prepare for Saturday: be kind to one another, look out for those around you, and take strength from the simple act of coming together. Walk, jog, run, volunteer whatever feels right knowing that community, compassion & care are at the very heart of parkrun.

We’re sorry to share that due to operational issues , Sunset Dunes and Baylands Nature Preserve parkruns will need to pause until at least 17 January.
We understand how important these events are to our community, and we appreciate your patience and support.

With both Baylands Nature Preserve and Sunset Dunes parkruns cancelled this weekend, it's worth considering a trip to Davis for the Mace Ranch parkrun. (Similar to Baylands, it's a single out-and-back and spends some time along a golf course.) www.parkrun.us/maceranch/

IMPORTANT: Due to conflicts with two other events being held in the park this Saturday, the 13th, we have been asked to cancel our event for this weekend. The next event for us will be on the 20th, and in addition to the planned Ugly Sweater event, we will also hold the Holiday Cookie Swap that day.

Our 13th event was cold and overcast, but still was filled with enthusiastic participants and volunteers! And a couple 100 finish milestones!

With the opening of the new Sunset Dunes parkrun, we had by far our smallest turnout ever at event 12, 109 finishers. (The cold wind also likely kept a few people away.) Weirdly, we had no milestones and nobody saying they were from England - both firsts!

It was cold this morning! (Not Canada cold, but for us, really cold!) The best way to stay warm turned out to be to finish a 5K.

As a surprise, like the last two weeks, the close (dirt) lots are going to be closed tomorrow. This means our parking once again will be at the boat dock lots and on Embarcadero Rd. Please arrive early and pay attention to the volunteers! www.parkrun.us/baylandsnatu...

In spite of the rainy week we've had, it looks like Saturday is going to be perfect for our first ever Tutu Day! (Well, not counting parking issues.) Wear your favorite tutu or borrow one of ours (arrive early for best selection)!

A break in the rainy weather resulted in a record 250 finishers and an amazing number of milestones for our ninth event! (It's fun that next week will be our tenth event, but WAY more fun that it will be Tutu Day!)

As a bonus this Saturday, the park is running their monthly volunteer day in the morning from 9am to noon at the Sail Station (boat dock) parking lot. Please consider staying and helping improve the park! Time is spent pulling invasive plants and picking up trash.
