Griffith Park Run
Griffith Park Run takes place on February 6, 2027 in Los Angeles at 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027. The event includes three separate entries: a 5K Run/Walk, a 1/2 Marathon, and Benny's Dog Division. Registration for entries includes a commemorative die cast finisher medal and a premium event t-shirt for human participants. Race packages also list a chip timed bib and free race photos.
The half marathon covers the main trails of Griffith Park and passes notable park landmarks including the Pony Ride and Merry Go Round area, Travel Town, the LA Zoo, and the Autry Museum before finishing near Crystal Springs picnic area. The half marathon course begins with an extended flat compact trail section, moves through rolling hills in the middle miles, then returns to a faster mostly flat final stretch.
The 5K follows a flat, shaded loop around the perimeter of the golf course on compact trail surface with minimal elevation change. Benny's Dog Division is a pet friendly option and includes a dog bib and a dog finisher medal plus access to a pet refresh and wellness zone.
Course support includes six water stations on the half marathon route, portable bathrooms near Travel Town, a roving first aid team, and a finish line first aid station. Food trucks, sampling booths, and an event expo are part of the event day offerings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
