The full length of the trail from our starting point is 7.25 miles. It winds past St. Mary's College and through Moraga. We also do the same trail starting from the Moraga end, which we call the Reverse Lafayette-Moraga Trail. We meet at the top of the hill by the entrance to the main parking lot. Metered parking is usually very limited, so allow extra time to find parking.
Members run one or more loops.
An alternative is the Rim Loop Trail. It is about 4.8-miles of extremely steep, rough dirt trails. Go one block and turn left on Heather Drive to the swimming pool parking lot. This is our meeting place. What - During Daylight Savings Time, we run the Canal Trail north toward Pleasant Hill, with an option at the two mile mark to turn left and run up through Larkey Park.
