5k Course Description
Can we say fast, fun and scenic? The race starts in front of City Hall and loops up and around Grand Park, past Disney Hall and Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. After a nice downhill, participants will be treated to a historic course along Spring Street, referred to as the Wall Street of the West! You’ll past by such notable buildings as the Contintental Building (LA’s first skyscraper), The Hellman Building, El Dorado Hotel, Crocker Bank and more. Runners do a U-Turn at 9th Street and then return to City Hall / Grand Park for the finish (there’s a small uphill near the finish)!
