About the Course

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 instructi

📸 Want to look like a legend in your race photos? Here’s how to nail it on race day:

🖼️ Find the Lens
If you see Nina — smile, pose, or throw your hands up like you just crushed the finish line. Don’t be shy!

🙌 Celebrate That Finish
Throw up peace signs, arms overhead, or hit your signature pose. You earned that moment!

😅 Keep Running Through the Shot
Don’t slow down before the camera. Keep that stride strong until you're past the lens — trust us, it makes a difference.

🎭 Photo-Friendly Style Tips
Let your outfit shine! Bright colors, fun accessories, and bold expressions make for unforgettable pics.

🧽 Wipe the Sweat... Or Don’t
Want to look fierce and gritty? Rock that sparkle-sweat. Prefer a polished look? Give yourself a quick swipe before the lens.
