10K versenyek Malibu közelében

A Mean Girls 5K, 10K and Half Marathon a LA River Path-t alakítja át North Shore High hangulatú pályává Canoga Parkban, egy lazább, vígjáték-tematikájú futásra. A verseny a Jed and Ted's Excellent Races része, ami egy San Fernando Valley-sorozat '80s és '90s filmes meg tévés témákkal; inkább baráti, stresszmentes futás, nem az a nagyvárosi marathon-os tömegérzés. Választhatsz 5K-t, 10K-t vagy half marathon-t, szóval jól működik alkalmi futóknak, helyi törzsgárdának és azoknak is, akik hosszabbat mennének. A fő pálya Canoga Parkból indul, és a burkolt LA River path-on halad. A 10K egy oda-vissza útvonal, nagyjából three miles folyamatos útszakasszal, forgalmi keresztezés nélkül. Az 5K-sok ennek egy részét futják, a half marathon-osok pedig kétszer teljesítik a pályát egy plusz szakasszal. Frissítés van a rajtnál és az 5K fordítónál. A dekor visszafogott, de hozza a témát, az érmek minden távon sajátok, a célterület pedig laza: simán oda lehet dumálni a race directorokhoz, és pár alkalom után már elkezded felismerni a többi futót is.
