About this race
Golden Strides is a Sunday morning run/walk in Riverside, California, held at Ryan Bonaminio Park on Tequesquite Avenue. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, 15K, or half marathon. The race begins at 7:30 AM, with bib pickup available beforehand. This is a straightforward local event with race-day registration, free parking in park lots and along Tequesquite Avenue, and strollers are permitted, but dogs are not.
The course consists of marked out-and-back loops on a shared park path, so expect to encounter other runners, walkers, and cyclists. The 5K is one out-and-back route, the 10K is two laps, the 15K is three laps, and the half marathon uses three 4.36-mile loops with a 3:15 time limit. The aid station, located at the turnaround near the start/finish area, provides water, Gatorade, and Gu gels. The only restrooms are park facilities approximately a five-minute walk away. Registration includes a custom finisher medal, a drawstring goodie bag, complimentary photos and videos, snacks and samples, and results posted online within 12 to 24 hours.
