LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS FOR BSC

REGISTRATION: Ohlone Park – Google and Apple Maps both direct you to the correct intersection, between Hearst Ave and McGee Ave. Registration will be on McGee Ave on the inside of the racecourse.

PARKING: Carpooling strongly advised. Nearby street parking is free on Sunday but extremely limited, do not count on it. Plan your parking before you arrive.

Slightly further away, parking lots are available at North Berkeley BART, but do not count on these being free or available. 

TENTS: If your team would like to have a tent / warm up area, get in touch. We have limited availability.

In Support of Local High School Mountain Bikers
The Berkeley Omnium is also a fundraiser for the local NICA teams at Berkeley High School, El Cerrito High School, Albany High School, and Oakland Composite. A portion of each entry fee goes DIRECTLY to the NICA teams and helps make cycling accessible for young student-athletes. Last year’s event raised $10,000 for the teams.

Your Hosts

Berkeley Hill Road Race Staging

Racers will stage at the Orinda BART parking lot, like last year. The times mentioned above are staging times, and racers will conduct a neutral start in three waves from the Orinda BART to the starting line under the supervision of a car and a USAC official. Races will then start (separately) from the start line.

The staging area takes place on the northeast side of the Orinda BART parking lot, near the registration table (coordinates: 37.8804152,-122.1832872). Show up at your designated time, ready to race.

Food: Rincon del Cielo Taqueria will be on-site at the registration area to sell burritos, tacos, and drinks at 9:00 a.m.
