For you NorCal people: What will the course be like on Saturday? Should we pack spikes, flats or supershoes? Or all three?

I have seen that. Not helpful. It only shows the start/finish section. And I assume conditions are pretty different if it has been wet?
I had a similar question before 2015 Club's and received the following from the PA USATF XC Chair:
The course crosses a few paved roads, but other than that is essentially off pavement--grass and dirt paths. Our local runners mostly don't wear spikes for cross country, but I know it is common in other regions of the country.
Since the Asics Gel-Dirt Dog shoe is no longer available, my recommendation is to wear spikes.

If I were running or if I was your coach I'd say to pack all three shoes even if you'd run the course before. You never know.
There was just a thread on this with an official responding with details of this years course. You gotta search for it

It's now been raining for >three days straight. The grass portion of the course will be mucky, damp, and wet. Other parts will be run-able if given a chance to dry-out a bit. However, the grass almost never drys out completely.
