This event invites participants of all skill levels from elite athletes and enthusiastic racers to walkers. This half marathon uniquely navigates all the main trails of Griffith Park, leading runners past notable landmarks such as the Merry Go Round and the Autry Museum. The 5K route is scenic, flat, and shaded, and for the first time, dogs are allowed to register as participants to run alongside their owners in the 5K. The Half Marathon commences at 7:30 a.m., while the 5K starts at 10 a.m.

There is ample free public parking available throughout the Griffith Park area and near the Autry (the start/finish and expo site). Please adhere to the RunGPR parking signs at both entrances from Crystal Springs Road.
