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.
💧 Race Day Amenities & Safety
2–3 Water Stations on every course
Public restrooms throughout the route
Turns are clearly marked with chalk, signs, and flags
Finish lines always have trained medical staff on-site
All water stations are stocked with first aid kits
Our entire staff is CPR & First Aid certified 💪
Timing:

All results are posted on Athlinks
So take a deep breath, relax, and run your race. We’ve got the course (and your safety) covered.
