A flat, fast 5K that starts on N University St by Ted Runner Stadium, loops Sylvan Park, winds through the University of Redlands campus, and finishes on the grass in front of the stadium.
The 2026 course heads south on University St, circles Sylvan Park, runs east along Sylvan Blvd and up Grove St, cuts through campus on Colton Ave and West Dr, then comes back up Grove St to finish along Brockton Ave at the stadium. Expect tree-lined streets, a few campus turns, and the kind of crowd support that makes a Thanksgiving race feel like a parade.
Strollers are welcome. Dogs are not allowed on the course during the race.
