About the race
The Murrieta 5K is a timed race held in downtown Murrieta on April 3, 2027. The course runs along Historic Route 395, through the Historic Downtown main street and along the foothills of old ranch country. The route is described as a flat course and passes through closed city streets that encircle the downtown area. The event welcomes timed runners, walkers, strollers, and dogs on leash.
Every participant receives a finisher’s medal, and prizes are awarded to top age group finishers. Bib and T-shirt pick up is available in advance at Lily Kelly Ministries and Chapel Coffee at 24935 Washington Ave., Murrieta, CA 92562, with pickup events on March 27 and April 1. At bib pick up, participants who bring a full 13 gallon trash bag of clean used clothing receive a free drink voucher for Chapel Coffee; used clothing should not be brought to the race itself. Parking is available at designated locations; additional street parking is available except along the race course.
The organizer notes that road closures affect many main streets in downtown. The organizer is Lily Kelly Ministries. Participants are responsible for understanding the route, which may be adjusted slightly before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
