Hollywood Sign Run | Hike
The event takes place in Griffith Park at the Fire Road just north of the Old Zoo in Los Angeles on January 31, 2027. It offers multiple trail distances that use mountain and park trails through the park.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- 8 Miles : out-and-back to the Hollywood Sign viewpoint
- 8K : scenic trail to a Mt. Hollywood Drive turnaround
- 5K : 3.1-mile trail with a climb to Bill Eckert Summit
- 2.2K Kid Run : a double loop around the Old Zoo
The 8 Mile course reaches a viewpoint near the Hollywood Sign and includes free professional race photos at some vantage points. The 8K and 5K do not reach the Hollywood Sign viewpoint and do not offer views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, or Downtown Los Angeles. The 8K course is described as approximately a 5-mile route that starts at the Old Zoo and turns around at Mt. Hollywood Drive. The 5K shares the same starting line as the 8K and includes a well-supported aid station with water and electrolytes.
Race day services listed for timed events include professional chip timing, aid stations, medical support, gear check, finish-line refreshments, participant shirts, finisher medals, awards, and on-site food and coffee available for purchase.
