Hikers
Hikers (all people who plan on walking the course rather than running) will also start at 8:00 A.M. Hikers will line up behind the runners in the starting area.
Keep in mind that this is a timed event. Please do your best to complete the course in a timely manner. The course will remain staffed until 11am, at which point the Brand Fire Road will be
re-opened for use by the general public.
This allows hikers to traverse 6.2 miles at a pace of 29 minutes per mile.
For Everyone's Safety
NO DOGS OR STROLLERS
​
Please stay to the right of the fire road when being passed by another runner or when encountering a runner coming in the opposite direction. The Verdugo Mountains 10K is an out and back course, so there will be two-way traffic. The fire road is sufficiently wide enough to allow for two-way traffic, as long as participants stay to the right in such situations.
​
If you choose to wear a personal listening device, please keep the volume low enough or one earpiece removed so that you can hear another runner attempting to pass and/or the instructions of race staff.
PACKET PICKUP
SATURDAY PRE-RACE PACKET PICKUP
​Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 9:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. at the Glendale Sports Complex meeting room, located at 2200 Fern Lane, Glendale, 91208.
CAN'T PICK UP YOU PACKET?
All race participants are required to pick up their bib and race shirt at Packet Pickup. If a runner cannot attend packet pickup, a friend or family member may pick up the packet with a copy (electronic or paper copy) of the runner’s photo ID and Racewire registration confirmation email.
