Bay Front Run & Bay Front Festival
On October 2nd, Hercules Education Foundation and Bay Front Chamber hosted the annual Bay Front Run and Festival. Chamber directors, HEF directors and community volunteers were on site to coordinate and manage the event.
Beginning at 10 am with 5/10K chip timed runs and 1 Mile walk/run, along with a Kids Fun Run, the community got a chance to stretch its legs and breath the fresh bay air along the Bay Trail. 340 runners registered for the event.
Following the run, the crowd moved down the street to the festival, where Bayfront Blvd and John Muir Parkway was closed for live music, food trucks, vendors, and classic cars. A crowd of approximately 3,000 filled the streets, strolling, dancing, eating, shopping, and socializing.
The event was promoted widely with posters, flyers, outdoor banners, and through many social media platforms.
We were able to enhance the festival thru funding provided by the City of Hercules sponsorship.
