Race Details Below:
The 5K - Red, White, and Run!
The 5k race is fun for the whole family or seasoned runners who want to leave their family in the dust.
The Course:
This beautiful course tours lower Sycamore Grove Park on a mix of paved and dirt trails, perfect for creating fireworks along your fitness journey.
This flat-ish loop combines the Winery Loop dirt trail and returns on the paved Arroyo Del Valle Regional Trail through the middle of Sycamore Grove Park.
Course Update:
We had to make a slight reroute to accommodate some needed work in the park. It will still be a mix of dirt and paved trails breezing by the winery ruins, hobbit tree, and several other fun sites at Sycamore Grove.
Strollers:
The trail section can be a bit rocky, so it may not be ideal for strollers.
Dogs:
We love your pups as much as you do, but we will politely ask you to leave them home for everyone's safety. We know your dog would be fine, but it is those other pups we're worried about.
