Brazen did it again! Another successful, organized, fun run!
Location: Lake Chabot
Completed the 5k with my girl. The 5k run was all paved trail, with some rollercoaster inclines. The post run was fullfilling. Haha They had energy drinks, bagels, fruits, gels, iron supplements, and It's - it...
After completing the run, we received a nice weighty finishers medal.
Good Job Brazen! -

This is my very first Brazen Race and trail 1/2 marathon. It was awesome!
Brazen did a great job organizing the event from registration to the post race celebration. All the details were thought out.
The 5K was entirely on paved trails, while the 10K and half marathon were about 50% paved trails and 50% fire trails.
The 5K and 10K were out and back courses, while the half marathon for 2011 looped Lake Chabot.
The half marathon was not for the faint of hearts. My GPS showed elevation climbs over 2,500ft!
Every mile of the 1/2 marathon was a challenge. Especially mile 3 on the Live Oak trail. Intense incline for over a mile! Mile 8 was almost a free fall with a vertical descent for over a 1/4 mile. And finally, Mile 9 which ran along the dry river bed single track.
After an intense course, it was nice to finish with great recovery food (fruits, bagels, pastries, IT-IT's ice cream and cheesecake!)
Love the well designed dry-fit tee and finishers' metal. I will wear both proudly! -

Bad Bass is a small 5K / 10K / half marathon trail racing event put on by Brazen Racing every year at the end of July at Lake Chabot. I ran it this year because I was looking for a 10K in that time frame that wasn't too far from home, and in spite of the INSANE hill at mile 3, it was tons of fun! Reasonably priced ($29/34/50), easy parking, nice shirts, hefty finisher medals for all, and age group medals 3 deep in five-year increments -- not a bad deal!

My kids (5 and 6) and myself ran Bad Bass in '10 and '11 and it is a very fun race. Rolling hills, not flat, but very pretty scenery and Brazen knows how to put on a race! there was an aid station on the 5k course. All 5k finishers get very nice finisher medals. They have amazing assortment of food and snacks on the course and at the finish line. Fabulous shirts! We love Brazen and will definitely be back for '12
