5K Route

 

CHINATOWN, DODGER STADIUM, ELYSIAN PARK 

The 5K is an out and back course that takes participants past the main entrance to Dodger Stadium. The course begins on North Broadway for approximately ⅓ mile, then turns left onto Bishops Road. A right turn at Stadium Way takes you over the 110 freeway, toward Dodger Stadium for an uphill climb.

This distance includes a right at Lookout Dr., then onto Lilac Terrace which leads again onto Stadium Way. A U-turn at Vin Scully Ave brings runners past the LAFD Frank Hotchkin training center where a piece of the World Trade Center is displayed as a memorial - a 23-ton, 22-foot-tall steel column that was originally part of the lobby structure.

Runners then continue on the course under the 110 freeway, back to Broadway where the finish line awaits those who conquered this beautiful and challenging course.

Two water stations are provided along this 5K course.
