Can I push a stroller with my child in the 5k run/walk?

Can I create a team?

When you register, you'll be asked if you want to "Join A Team, Create A Team or No." If you are starting a team, go ahead and give your team a name and create a password, if desired. If you want to join a team, click "Join a team" and select the team you wish to join.
Can I sign up when I get there Sunday Morning?
Yes, absolutely. However, CHECK is preferred.
T-shirts and goody bags will be available until they run out. But, hey...it's not about the t-shirt anyway, right?! We're raising money for charity!
Can I register at packet pick up?
Yes, you can register at packet pickup on Saturday at Fleet Feet Burbank. Saturday, October 7th from 11am-2pm. Located at 1516 W. Magnolia Blvd. Burbank, CA 915061516 W
Can someone else pick up my race packet for me at Packet Pick Up?
Yes. No problem. Friends helping friends is cute.
What will I need to pick up my race packet?
It's best to have your registration confirmation with you, in case there are any errors on our end. But, normally just an ID is fine!
Will this event be timed?
Yes! We have a fabulous timing company that will provide you race bibs with chips so you can know how awesome you are. Yes, you are all awesome.
Are there race prizes?
Yes! This year, we are giving finisher medals to everyone who crosses the finish line! As well as, we are giving prizes away to the top three male/female winners in each age category. There will be an overall male/female winner as well as a masters male/female winner.
Will there be a water stop on the course?
Yes! We will have one water stop on the course, near the halfway point. We will also provide you water/refreshment at the finish line.
Is the course clearly marked?
Yes, absolutely. There are no streets to cross as our course follows the golf course in Griffith Park in a counter clockwise motion. You will see signs as well as course marshals along the way.
Can I run with my kid in the 1k Fun Run?
Well, from one parent to another, if your child wants to do it, the course will be properly marked and we will have a "rabbit" for them to chase. So, I say, if they want to run without you...let 'em go! We will also have the Burbank High School Cheerleaders lining their course and walking back with them. Every child participating must have a bib on, signifying that there is a waiver for them. But, yes...you can go out with your child on the course!
