About our Courses
From Start Line to Finish Vibes
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.

🌧️ CaliFlow Runs Rain or Shine Policy ☔
Rain in the forecast? Prepare to get wet! 💦
Wind? Rain? Sleet? Snow? We RUN! 🏃♀️
What's our rain plan? Simple answer: YOU GET WET! 😂
CaliFlow Runs events are RAIN OR SHINE! We do not cancel races because of wind, rain, sleet, or snow unless directed to do so by the City.
Why don't we just postpone the race?
Organizing a race isn't quite as simple as picking another date on the calendar! Our event permits are secured months in advance, and every race involves weeks or months of planning, coordination, staffing, equipment, vendors, and logistics.
Moving a race isn't as easy as moving a backyard barbecue. We can't simply wake up, see rain in the forecast, and decide to hold the event next weekend.
When you register, you're signing up for a rain-or-shine event. A little bad weather doesn't mean the race is canceled or postponed.
So check the forecast, dress appropriately, bring a poncho, embrace the elements, and get ready for some splash-worthy race memories!
The forecast might change, but the finish line is still waiting!
IMPORTANT: RACE TRANSFERS ARE NO LONGER OFFERED
CaliFlow Runs has discontinued race transfers. Registrations can no longer be moved directly from one event to another.
Instead, we now offer a Race Credit Program for eligible participants who notify us before their registered event begins.
Can't Make It on Race Day?
We understand that plans change! While all registrations are non-refundable, you may request a one-time race credit toward another eligible CaliFlow Runs event, provided you contact us before your registered race starts.
How Race Credits Work
-
Request Before Race Day Starts: Email info@califlowruns.com before the scheduled start of your registered event. Requests received after the start time are not eligible.
-
Credit Amount: Your credit is based on the registration price you actually paid, minus RunSignup processing fees.
-
30-Day Expiration: Race credits expire 30 days from the date issued.
-
One-Time Use: Each race credit code is valid for one transaction only.
-
Price Differences: If your new race costs more, you pay the difference. If it costs less, any unused credit is forfeited.
-
No Combining Offers: Race credits cannot be combined with discount codes, promotions, multi-person discounts, bundles, or special offers.
-
Non-Transferable: Credits are issued to the original registrant, have no cash value, and cannot be sold, shared, or transferred to another person.
-
Event Exclusions: Premium, specialty, partner, or designated events may be excluded from the Race Credit Program.
-
Expired Credits: Expired or unused codes will not be extended, replaced, or reissued.
Important: No Post-Race Credits
All race credit requests must be received BEFORE the scheduled start of your registered event.
Once your race has started, your registration is considered used, regardless of whether you attended, picked up your bib, or participated.
No refunds. No race transfers. No post-race credits. No exceptions.
Thank you for understanding and helping us keep CaliFlow Runs events accessible and affordable for our running community!
