The Oakland -Alameda County Coliseum Board unanimously approved a new proposal for the Oakland Coliseum on Friday, that did not center on baseball, but rather, a different kind of pitch. 

The marathon started at 7 a.m. as hundreds of runners whizzed through the city.

Various road closures were set up around downtown Oakland, Lake Merritt, and Jack London Square.
