Parking & Race Details
Parking is available in the Canyon High School lot, as well as in nearby streets and neighborhoods. The race starts promptly at 7:00 AM on Santa Ana Canyon and Imperial, right in front of the Canyon High School track.

Before the race begins, we’ll hold a short opening ceremony—so be sure to arrive early to park, explore our expo booths, warm up, and take care of any pre-race needs.

🚻 Portable restrooms will be on-site. Keep in mind that restroom lines tend to get very busy in the 10–15 minutes leading up to the race, so plan accordingly.
Race Timing & Course Guidelines
• All runners will receive a state-of-the-art timing chip on their bib.

• Your official time begins when you cross the timing mat at the start line, so no need to rush at the gun—your personal race time starts when you do!

• Kilometer markers will be placed along the course. If you’re walking the 5K/10K, please stay to the right to allow runners to pass.

Strollers and dogs are welcome!

For 5K and 10K runners, there will be a clearly marked turnaround points.
Hydration & Finish Line Festivities
Feel free to bring your own water or hydration gear! Additional hydration stations and local expo booths will be available as you approach the finish line.
