This place is so fun and my kids love it. Staff are always incredibly helpful and nice. I…read moreespecially appreciate how the people working the track ensure safety and rules are respected. We were a bit disappointed because I had received an email that it was drift night, but when we arrived it had actually been the night before. Marketing really needs to have accurate messaging going out. I double checked the email to see if I'd read it right and it indeed had the wrong night listed. Kids were super bummed, but decided to go out and drive and still had a great time. The track was a tad slippery still from drift night so they actually had a few tiny drift moments. They have food and drinks available for reasonable prices. Mostly pub type food, as well as snacks and candy. Lots of nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages available. There's a pool table and other games in an arcade area. Plenty of seating options. I love that electric carts are available, as I don't miss having to breathe in fumes with the former gas carts. Yay for technology! Plenty of parking out front. You can register to play online before you arrive or at the door.

Came here to celebrate a birthday with less than 2 weeks notice. Mini package in the late…read moreafternoon. 2 laps for 8 min to 12 max teenagers/ adults. $85 plus service charge. You can pre register online and just check in upon arrival. You're immediately assigned a host to guide you through the event. In the beginning the process was a bit confusing but it all got sorted out by the time the race began. All drivers got a safety instruction. Then guided to 2 guys to help with helmet fitting. Birthday girl was girl in line as cars weee assigned to everyone in the party. There is a place to sit and watch the racers doing their laps. The 1st lap took some getting used to. But since it was a private track time for the party, there were no unnecessary public interactions crashing cars into each other. Safety first which I really appreciated. The girls had a complete blast once they figured out how the cars drove. There was a short 20 min break in between laps where they were given drink cards and game cards to use $10 ea. The second lap was the one that counts and who won 1st 2nd 3rd place. In the end everyone received a certificate and got to stand on the podium for pics. We brought our own cake. K1 provided the sliders and pretzel dogs and utensils plates. The party section was spacious and clean. Loved the decor. Great for older kids and adults as some of the parents, kids at heart, had to refrain from joining in on the party. Many of the kids weren't able to use their game card as we ran out of time. The kids saved it for their next visit. I would recommend this place for parties or a night out or even team building event.

I will start out by explaining the need for better communication amongst the participants prior to…read morerace day. We registered through snail mail to avoid the processing fees, and a week later my check was cashed and that was the only way I knew they received my payment and registration! No email to confirm, so I had to email to verify a few weeks before the event that we were registered. It took a few days to get a response and when I did I was informed in fact we were not registered! I emailed back confirmig the date my check was cashed, then reply was sent back saying our registration was misplaced but they found it. Whew! But no other information is provided prior to race day, and that's frustrating to first timers as myself. Day of Event: I will say the preparation for race day was much more organized. We arrived at 5:45am and everything was practically set up, easy to retrieve your bib with plenty of friendly volunteers. I had to ask around a lot where to go, what to do, it was our first sprint triathlon, but everyone was helpful. There is a pre race speech given by past participants who were very informative and motivating! 400 yard swim: They break you up into age and male/females. Which I liked, easier to swim next to my fellow women especially when you may be in really close proximity. I hit a few people with my arms and legs but everyone was really friendly to my apolgies. The water at Shadow Cliffs I will have to say is DISGUSTING! Seriously, just walking to the starting point of the swim, makes me gag thinking about it. Gooeuy, seaweed type algae in between your toes that goes up past your knees when you step in it! The visibility in the water is zero, but the swim not bad physcially. 3 booeys that form a sqaure with the shoreline and easy to see. I had been training a lot in a lap pool and did one one open water swim, and was prepared for this portion of the triathlon. 11 mile bike: LOVED this route! A few hills, but overall a nice flat ride with pretty views of wine courntry in Livermore/Pleasanton. Traffic is blocked off and we get the road mostly to ourselves. 3 mile run: This was torture for me, it was hot, and there were a few more hills than I expected. But water is provided along the trail, it switched back a lot, but try to follow the chalked in arrows and you will be Ok. The finish line MC was awesome, saying your name and where you are from loud and clear with enthusiasm! I finished in 1hr 32 mins, I timed myself on my watch, but for $15 extra you can request a timing chip. I didn't make my goal of 1.5 hours but was pretty close, and didn't train too much, mostly only for the swimming portion. A check off my bucketlist, and it's local so have to be appreciative to OnYourMark Events to continuing this tradation of Sprint Triathlons in the area. Just wish for better communication and a better swimming location!

The event was well organized, well staffed, had plenty friendly volunteers, and was chipped timed. Post race results and pics were made available immediately after the event and showed your times in each of the 3 disciplines and the 2 transitions. Very useful info for future events and training. The water was warmer than most pools and I never felt cold while swimming in just shorts. Check-in was quick and easy and the morning participant meeting was informative and clarified any questions you might have about the course. Easy parking and decently clean bathrooms. Great event and highly recommended. Liked it so much, I am planning on doing the August event and this time with my wife.

Zero integrity. They moved the venue 2 hours away from the…read moreoriginal venue, which apparently doesn't qualify for a refund. The right thing to do is offer a refund since THEY DROPPED THE BALL, the contract (lack of contract). They announced the the change just weeks before the event, and they new months in advance.

As others have recently posted, they can change the location only a few weeks from the race date to…read moreessentially anywhere they want, and don't consider it a cancellation, which means they won't offer refunds. Very shady business practice and they don't respond to their own customer service link with questions/requests for explanations. PA race moved 2 hours farther away, which is ridiculous so close to the start date, especially if you have an earlier morning wave start time. For what you pay to enter these races, it says a lot about the organization's priorities when they pull this kind of bait and switch. Only in it for the money, zero effort at customer service. I won't register for another race with this group and strongly urge anyone considering it to read the negative reviews first. Buyer beware!

This place is run so well but I had to get on here and commend Greg. February I had my sons…read morebirthday there and my daughter was just walking by so excited to see a specific toy and he overheard, he bought it with his own tickets/money and made sure she got it, leaving us to be able to make all the other kids experiences even better because they got special stuff too. Tonight he did the same thing with my kids and nieces and nephews and I heard he went above and beyond for another customer too. Honestly, not only being super on point as an employee for everything that we needed but then to go above and beyond like that is something we don't see in the service world very often and this guy needs to get some big time recognition. We have already made plans for the next time we go back and I really hope it's in a night that he works. Very good memories have been made because of his care and big heart.

It was loud like a lawn mower and slow to start and ultra low on torque - from a standstill couldn't get over a little bump. The food surprisingly was good and the young adult staff were friendly throughout. Unlimited passes are a good purchase but it was tuff to find someone to man the laser tag latter in the day when nobody is interested in playing laser tag anymore. But overall the boys enjoyed their time here.

Hmm Yelp is kind of a weird place to write a race review but whatever, here goes…read more I'm not a serious triathlete just someone who enjoys the sport for fun and to say I finished a race so this review is going to come from that perspective. I thought this race was really fun! The lake was clean and pretty warm actually, while still being wetsuit legal and not too hot. The 1.5k swim course takes you around almost the entire lake, which made me feel like a real champ. The 40k bike course was really enjoyable. I'm from the east coast and am used to really flat bike courses so when I moved to SF this was a bit of a challenge. This one had a nice climb from mile 10 - 12 but otherwise was pretty simple. For someone like me this was just enough of a challenge to feel like I really did something without so many hills that I felt miserable. (Like I said, serious athletes may not have found this challenging enough, but I enjoyed it.) The 10k run was mostly on a trail which was great since I have knee problems. It's a 5k loop so you do it twice, which isn't super exciting, but I kind of liked knowing what to expect the second time around. Last year I raced the Folsom Long Course Triathlon which is also put on by USA Productions and had quite a few complaints about the level of support. But this race seemed well supported, so they really redeemed themselves in my eyes. Plus, it's pretty close to SF which is nice when traveling for a race. Into it!

Terrible. Just terrible…read more Like any race, the earlier you purchase your race entry, the cheaper it is. Well, that's what one would think. With Trek, if you wait til the very last minute they will offer $1 entries to people just to fill up the space. They didn't even bother apologizing or offering a remedy for early registrants. When we sent numerous emails about this issue, they didn't even bother to respond. And, when you leave comments on facebook, they just delete them. They only care about their pocketbooks, not about the athletes that are committed to the sport. Don't support this organization! If you want to do this course, stick with the On Your Mark Events Tri for Fun and Tri for Real course. Or even the See Jane Run race. Trek Women's is crap.

I was able to raise over $400 for babies and families in need. The walk itself was a brisk 3 mile walk around Pleasanton with plentiful pitstops for water and encourgement from the volunteers. When you cross the finish line there are at least 200 people cheering for you (yea hate to say all the yelping and good eats has gotten me out of shape.. so yes we were one of the last to finish) They served free lunch and breakfast for all partcipants. Breakfast was a variety of bagels with individually packaged cream cheese, option of apple or orange and coffee or water. Lunch was Adelle's Sausage, chips and cookies. It was a fun day indeed. I will definately walk again next year! You should too!!
