THE COURSE
The H2GO 5K features a loop course that runs around Lake Palmdale, starting and finishing at the same location for a smooth and organized race-day experience.
The course is mostly flat, making it accessible for runners and walkers of all abilities. Participants will enjoy continuous lake views, open desert skies, and the peaceful setting of the Antelope Valley in the early morning hours.
This course highlights the natural surroundings of Lake Palmdale while offering a comfortable, easy-to-follow route.
The lake sits approximately 2,900 feet above sea level and is surrounded by rolling hills. It is home to a variety of bird species and fish, contributing to the area’s unique ecological environment. Recreational access is limited, making participation in the H2GO 5K a rare opportunity to experience this scenic location.
Please note: The Palmdale Fin & Feather Club will not be open to members during the event.
