Our courses follow open-pathway routes — beautiful, pedestrian-friendly trails along the beach, parks, and riverways. They’re car-free, scenic, and packed with good energy. Whether you’re chasing a PR or rocking a costume for fun, you’ll enjoy miles of safe, ocean-breezy running with zero traffic stress.

👟 Because these are shared public spaces, you might pass by other walkers, joggers, or locals out for their morning stroll — that’s part of the CaliFlow charm! Stay aware, kind, and keep the good vibes flowing for everyone.

🎧 Pro tip: Save the Metallica for the drive home! Keep your headphones at a low volume so you can hear course directions and cheer squads along the way.
