This event day includes multiple running options at Jeffrey Trail Middle School in Irvine and parking at 155 Visions. The course is an out-and-back route on a landscaped running path shared with cyclists, other runners, and dog walkers; runners pushing a stroller are asked to stay to the right. Restrooms are located inside the school buildings to the south and north of the expo area.

- 13.1 miles Wild HARE Half Marathon
- 3.1 miles OC Challenge Wild Hare 5K and Rabbit Run 5K
