10K-Läufe in der Nähe von Fillmore

Der Mean Girls 5K, 10K und Half Marathon verwandelt den LA River Path in Canoga Park in North Shore High für ein Lauf-Event ganz im Comedy-Stil. Dieser Lauf gehört zu Jed and Ted's Excellent Races, einer Serie im San Fernando Valley, die sich um '80s and '90s movie and TV themes dreht. Hier gibt's eine entspannte, stressfreie Atmosphäre, weit weg vom Trubel eines großen Stadtmarathons. Du kannst zwischen 5K, 10K oder dem Half Marathon wählen, die ganze Veranstaltung ist so aufgebaut, dass sowohl Gelegenheitsläufer als auch die Locals oder Leute, die mal eine längere Distanz laufen wollen, auf ihre Kosten kommen. Die Hauptstrecke startet in Canoga Park und führt über den asphaltierten LA River path. Der 10K ist eine Wendepunktstrecke, ungefähr three miles lang auf einem durchgehenden Weg ohne Verkehrskreuzungen. Die 5K-Teilnehmer nutzen einen Teil davon, während die Half Marathon-Läufer die Strecke zweimal laufen, plus einen extra Abschnitt. Verpflegung gibt's am Start und am 5K-Wendepunkt. Die Deko ist eher dezent, passt aber zum Thema, die Medaillen sind für jeden Lauf einzigartig und der Zielbereich ist entspannt. Da kann man sich locker mit den Race Directors unterhalten und mit der Zeit auch die anderen Teilnehmer kennenlernen.
