THE VENUE: Verdugo Park is one of the crown jewels in the City of Glendale park system. Though it is in the middle of a residential neighborhood it features ample grass, mature shade trees, a sparkling creek, great picnic areas, and a skate park!

THE COURSE: Race takes place in a beautiful urban park shaded by trees. Start/finish will be on east lawn.  Course is a mix of pavement, dirt and grass.  The championship-proven course is mostly flat with a challenging downhill U-turn then run up, twisting through mulch, a fast approach stairs section, fast approach double barriers, and through the infamous Tot Park Sand Trap©! Each lap is approx. 3.5km in length.  Races are timed circuits on the course based on race wave.
