Time to take a break from Tuesday trails to run some stairs instead. Our reward will be tacos and ice cream after! This out and back run on the NE Alameda stairs route is along chill suburban streets with sidewalks. Although there are many turns we'll go at a social conversational pace and stay together. Stair repeats are encouraged if you run ahead!
