Course and logistics
The half marathon is an all-trail route that begins with a flat, compact-trail section for the first several miles, moves into rolling hills around the Pony Ride and Merry Go Round area, and then passes Travel Town and the zoo before returning to flatter compact trail. The 5K is described as flat, scenic, and shaded, running around the perimeter of the golf course. Water is available at six stations on the half marathon course; 5K participants have water at the halfway point. Portable bathrooms are noted near the Travel Town area. A roving first aid team will cover main access points and a first aid station is provided near the finish area. Packet pick-up is offered the day before at REI Burbank and on race day at the event site. Prize money is listed for half marathon open and masters places.
