Corridas de 10K perto de Santa Clarita

O Mean Girls 5K, 10K and Half Marathon transforma o LA River Path em North Shore High para uma corrida com tema de comédia em Canoga Park. A prova faz parte da Jed and Ted's Excellent Races, uma série do San Fernando Valley focada em filmes e séries dos anos '80s e '90s, com um clima mais tranquilo e sem pressão, bem diferente da pegada de um marathon de cidade grande. Dá para escolher entre 5K, 10K ou half marathon, e a estrutura temática funciona tanto para quem corre de boa, quanto para a galera local que aparece sempre, ou para quem quer encarar uma distância maior. O percurso principal larga em Canoga Park e segue pelo LA River pavimentado. O 10K é um bate-volta de aproximadamente três milhas em um trecho contínuo, sem cruzamento com trânsito. Quem vai de 5K usa uma parte desse trajeto, enquanto quem corre a half marathon faz o percurso duas vezes com uma seção extra. Tem hidratação e lanches na largada e no retorno do 5K. A decoração é discreta, mas conversa com o tema; as medalhas são diferentes para cada prova; e a área de chegada tem aquele clima relaxado, bom para trocar ideia com os diretores da prova e, com o tempo, começar a reconhecer outros corredores.
