Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Los Angeles Mission Possible 5K/10K, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California. This popular annual event, organized by Aztlan Athletics and part of the LA Parks Run Series, offers both a 5K and 10K run/walk, catering to all abilities from seasoned runners to casual walkers. Runners will traverse newly paved roads through the historic Solano Canyon area of Elysian Park, enjoying intermittent rolling hills and breathtaking views of the foothills, downtown Los Angeles, and Dodger Stadium. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 79°F and lows around 63°F, with virtually no chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The Mission Possible Run is more than just a race; it's a community event with a mission. Starting promptly at 8:30 AM PDT from 835 Academy Road, participants will find water stations conveniently located at Mile 1.5, 2.5, 4, and at the finish line to keep them hydrated. What truly sets this race apart is its dedication to supporting worthy causes, including the Aztlan Athletics Foundation, Los Angeles Parks Foundation, and Ever/Walk Foundation, all while promoting wellness and supporting survivors of trauma.

Adding to its unique charm, the event includes a "Top Dog Division," allowing runners to bring their leashed canine companions to join in the fun (starting at the back with strollers). Every participant will receive a finisher medal, and pre-registered runners are guaranteed a commemorative race t-shirt. With free parking available and access to food booths and entertainment at the finish line, the Los Angeles Mission Possible 5K/10K promises an engaging atmosphere for both participants and spectators, making every stride a step towards a healthier community.
