Griffith Park Trail Marathon Relay & 8K
The Griffith Park Trail Marathon Relay & 8K takes place in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, on June 6, 2027, at the Lower Old Zoo and marks the event's twelfth anniversary. The event offers both a team marathon relay and an individual 8K race.
- Marathon relay with team exchanges and captain recognition.
- 8K race with individual awards and age grade prizes.
The course is a true loop that uses trail and fireroad with some pavement. Course notes mention a 1.7 mile climb followed by flatter and winding sections and a mostly downhill approach to the finish. Organizers list three well supported aid stations along the route and a volunteer crew to assist participants.
Participant services include fast chip timing, a premium short sleeve participant shirt, a unique finisher medal, free professional race photos for download, and exclusive badges for relay captains and last leg runners. The event features a festival area with multiple DJs, food trucks, vendors, post-run food and drinks, and a packet pickup sale and raffle at Fleet Feet Burbank.
Prizes and recognition include $1,500 in total cash prizes for the relay Open Division, awards for the top three teams in each division, top three male and female finishers in the 8K, and age grade awards for the 8K. The event also highlights a new internal competition called the SoCal Showdown. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
