Embark on a meaningful journey at the Beyond The Streets 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, returning to the vibrant community of Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This inspiring event, organized by Jed & Ted's Excellent Races, offers runners of all levels the chance to connect with the unique urban and natural landscapes of the San Fernando Valley. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, 10K, or a scenic 13.1-mile Half Marathon distance, all kicking off at 7:00 a.m. near Canoga Park High School at 6846 Owensmouth Ave.

The course is celebrated for its mostly flat terrain, guiding runners along picturesque stretches of the Los Angeles River pathway and adjacent streets. This road race provides a "real LA River experience," weaving through local parks and pedestrian areas, showcasing the diverse scenery that pulses along its banks. Typical race day conditions for early February in Canoga Park feature cool morning temperatures, generally ranging from the mid-40s to low-50s Fahrenheit, with a low chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

What truly sets Beyond The Streets apart is its commitment to community. As the second annual edition, this event removes financial barriers by offering free participation, though donations are highly encouraged. All proceeds directly benefit North Valley Caring Services (NVCS), supporting critical programs for individuals experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and crisis in the San Fernando Valley. Runners aren't just crossing a finish line; they're moving with purpose, contributing to a cause that helps neighbors "beyond survival and toward stability."
