From the reviews
Popular dirt track, but most everyone seems to know the basic rules of track running (inside is fastest, turns are to the left, if going backwards use the outside lanes of the track).
When I was a student at UCB in the 70s, we used to run to this track, run it, and run home. It was the Deaf and Blind School track then. Being able to go there now brings back great memories. We called the hill to the track Heartbreak Hill, for obvious reasons. Love it.
