The course runs on the Santa Ana River Trail from Yorba Linda to Huntington Beach State Park. The route passes drier inland areas, sections near Disneyland, and reaches the coastline. The profile is primarily flat and straight with a gradual downhill slant that follows the river toward the ocean. The organizer notes the route was cleaned up from homeless tents two years ago and that the trail is not fenced in nightly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
