🏅 Epic Medals & Custom Swag
Each race features custom-designed medals, vibrant bibs, and exclusive CaliFlow gear you’ll actually want to wear.
🎶 Finish Line Festivals
We keep the energy going with our finish line festivals — complete with a live DJ, photo zones, games, and so much more. It’s not just a race; it’s a vibe.
💧 We’ve Got You Covered
Stay hydrated with multiple water stations, and cool off at the finish line with frozen treats, fresh fruit, and plenty of post-race refreshments.
🌟 A Race for Everyone
Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking your first 5K, or just soaking in the coastal views, CaliFlow Runs is for YOU. Our events are designed for all paces, all ages, and all levels.
👟 Year-Round Events
From holiday-themed runs to our Full Moon Series, we keep the good times (and good vibes) rolling all year. Find your next favorite race and join the movement.
Our courses are open-pathway routes — meaning they’re held on pedestrian-friendly trails like beach paths, park loops, and river trails. They’re car-free, safe, and full of good energy. Whether you're racing for a PR or strolling in costume, you'll be on a scenic route with no traffic to worry about.
👟 Because these are shared public spaces, you may pass by other walkers, joggers, or casual strollers who didn’t sign up — but that’s part of the CaliFlow charm. Just stay aware and respectful of those around you.
🎧 Pro tip: Save the Metallica for your post-race drive. Please keep the volume low enough to hear voices and instructions around you.
