Gare di Half Marathon vicino a Malibu

La Mean Girls 5K, 10K e Half Marathon trasforma la LA River Path nella North Shore High per un evento di corsa a tema commedia a Canoga Park. Questa gara fa parte delle Jed and Ted's Excellent Races, una serie della San Fernando Valley incentrata su temi di film e serie TV degli '80 e '90, con un'atmosfera rilassata e senza stress, piuttosto che il classico clima da maratona nelle grandi città. Puoi scegliere tra 5K, 10K o half marathon, con un'organizzazione a tema che va bene per i runner occasionali, per chi corre spesso in zona, e per chi vuole una distanza più lunga. Il percorso principale parte da Canoga Park, seguendo la LA River path asfaltata. La 10K è un classico andata e ritorno che copre circa tre miles di percorso continuo, senza incroci con il traffico. Chi fa la 5K usa una parte di questo percorso, mentre i half marathoner fanno il percorso due volte con un tratto aggiuntivo. Ci sono ristori alla partenza e al giro di boa della 5K. Le decorazioni sono discrete ma in linea con il tema, le medaglie sono diverse per ogni gara, e l'arrivo è tranquillo, così puoi chiacchierare con gli organizzatori e iniziare a riconoscere gli altri partecipanti con il tempo.
