Los Angeles is primed for a fabulous timed running event and Trail Run Events is please to bring it! Join us at Crystal Springs Picnic Area for 6, 12, or 24 hours of running on the jogging path around the beautiful Harding Golf Course. Located in historic Griffith Park, you can run to your heart's content while the family takes in the sights of Hollywood or just enjoy the many attractions inside the park.
How far can you run, jog or walk? You keep going and going and we will calculate your mileage for you! Timed ultra marathon races are super fun because you always have people to run with on a flat course with support every 2.49 miles!
Event Features:
Cirque is not really a “race” but more of a “happening” however we expect many of you to run a PR and we will do everything possible to help you get it. That said, you are only “racing” again the clock; How many miles can you run, walk or crawl in your chosen time limit? You do the running and we do the math.
