The race starts at 7:00 AM sharp. We recommend arriving by 6:00 AM to allow time for parking, warming up, using restrooms, and getting to the start line without feeling rushed. Roads and parking areas will be busier closer to start time, so arriving early will help you have a smooth, stress-free start to race day.

Bib pickup will take place on the following days:

• Friday, August 27, 2027 — 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
• Saturday, August 28, 2027 — 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Location details for bib pickup will be emailed to all registered runners prior to race week. We highly recommend picking up your bib in advance to make race morning smooth and stress-free.

If you are unable to attend bib pickup, a friend or family member may pick up your bib for you.

No, we will not be offering race-day registration. All runners must register online in advance through RunSignup. This helps us make sure we have accurate bib assignments, timing, medals, and enough support on the course for everyone.

If the race sells out, registration will close early — so we recommend signing up as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Yes. The cutoff time is 3 Hours

The race start and finish line is located at the Iron Horse Trailhead off 25311 Magic Mountain Pkwy, Santa Clarita, CA 91355.

All our races will be chip-timed for best accuracy using a MyLaps timing system.

To ensure your chip is tracked and timed correctly:

• Always keep the BibTag visible; do not remove or cover with a jacket
• Do not excessively bend or twist the BibTag
• Do not attach beside or under a zip: metal has a negative impact on the BibTag chip
• Do not wear on your back or side, or around your arm or leg
• Do not cover the BibTag with your hand or arm when crossing the finish line:
  runners often do this when checking their watch when crossing the line
• Always remember that the mat must 'see' the number when you cross the finish line
  line
• Do not separate the BibTag from the start number

Yes. There will be several stations with water, gel packs, and salt tablets, with a few key stations providing snacks and basic first aid if needed. At the finish line there will be water, food, and ice cream! We recommend you carry either a water bottle and/or hydration pack. Each aid station will include fresh water to refill your supply. 

Proper hydration is essential when running any distance, but especially on long races. One of the greatest dangers for runners is completing the race in a dehydrated state. We encourage runners to plan on being hydrated throughout the event.

There is no gear drop. The event is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Yes, porta-potties will be available at the start/finish area for runners before and after the race.

No. The event insurance policy does not allow dogs. We love dogs, but there are those who may not be comfortable around them and there are also dogs that are uncomfortable around hundreds of other people. We have no doubt that your dog is well behaved, but we simply have no way to be sure about all the other dogs and thus we have a “no dogs on course” policy.

For your safety and the safety of all participants, we do not recommend wearing headphones while running a race. However, if you do, we ask that you keep the volume down at a safe level so you can hear other runners and instructions from event personnel. The important thing is paying attention to everyone’s safety and maintaining basic race etiquette with other runners.

Yes. All registered runners will receive an official Good Company 14K race shirt, which will be provided at bib pickup. All runners who finish the race will receive a Good Company 14K finisher medal at the finish line.

Your registration includes both the race shirt and finisher medal.

Bib pickup will take place on the following days:

• Friday, August 27, 2027 — 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
• Saturday, August 28, 2027 — 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Location details for bib pickup will be emailed to all registered runners prior to race week. We highly recommend picking up your bib in advance to make race morning smooth and stress-free.

No, it is not. While the Santa Clarita pathways are open to the public, and running at the same time as an event is totally fine. Those entering into the start/finish area or intentionally jumping into the race just after the start, using the marked course, racing against other runners, etc. are essentially freeloading off of the race and the other runners, regardless of whether they take aid station supplies, medals or other race supplies.

Permits, insurance and race materials for the event are obtained with set numbers of participants planned and accounted for. Costs for events are also planned, taking into account those numbers and sharing the race costs among all entrants.

When people “hijack” a race they jeopardize the race’s ability to come back, create potential for problems for other runners trying to determine their place in the race and for support personnel to identify participants and (if necessary) provide emergency support. Like shoplifting, being a race bandit does not cost the person taking anything, but the cost ultimately goes to the people who follow the rules and pay to run the race.

While the GC14K course is on the city pathways and paseos, much of it is along the Santa Clara river and open nature areas, so there is some risk of coming across wildlife including snakes, coyotes and lizards.

What to do if you see a snake?

If you see a snake while running, do not panic! Back away slowly and carefully look for a way around. Also be sure to shout out “snake” and point out the location so other runners are aware and can carefully get around it. Snakes will generally leave you alone if they are not provoked. Simply left alone, snakes will continue on with their life, they do not actively seek out confrontations with any of their natural enemies, humans included. The number one reason people are bitten by venomous snakes throughout this country is because of the attempt to catch, kill, or tease them when we find them.

Yes. The course will be clearly marked using directional signs and banners at key turning points.
