STARTING LINE
Runners are encouraged to begin lining up no later than 6:45AM. The race will start on time at 7:00AM.
Line up according to your expected race pace. Faster runners should be positioned at the front of the start chute, while slower runners/ walkers/ strollers start closer to the back. The goal is to have the start flow nicely and safely. The event is chip timed and your official time will not start until you cross the starting line.
COURSE DESIGN | Arroyo Seco Parkway (SR-110)
Run The 110 10K starts on Orange Grove Street. From the start line, you will head to the freeway for a once in a lifetime opportunity where you will run on this historic roadway. Runners and walkers will descend the on-ramp and enter the road heading north towards Pasadena. Do not worry about yielding to traffic or entering at a safe speed. While the 110 is infamous for its' short ramps this closed road has been reserved for you and a couple thousand of your closest friends.
After passing the Fair Oaks overpass bridge, you will make a 180 degree turn and then continue southbound towards Dodgers Stadium and Downtown Los Angeles. Wind your way through the bends and turns of one of the oldest freeways in the United States. The finish is adjacent to the Avenue 26 exit. Collect your bling and some water, have one of our official photographers get a photo of you as the sun rises over the freeway.
After your race, you will exit the freeway and you will be provided with a commemorative Metro Pass that you can use at the nearby station to get you back to the start line.
We recommend that you use the Metro to the start at South Pasadena Gold Line.
Enjoy the other festivities at the open streets event that follows the 10K run/walk and visit all the stops. Metro trains are available on a first come first serve basis. The Arroyo Fest Open Streets Festival starts at approximately 8:30A.M. You will be able to jump on the Metros Station located at the finish line celebration. Some of you may want to warm down by walking back to the start on the 110 FWY. Limited e-bikes will be available for rent as well.
