RUN FOR THE HEALTH OF IT

Lace up for a cause at the 5th Annual RUN FOR THE HEALTH OF IT, taking place on Sunday, August 16, 2026, in the scenic La Cañada Flintridge, California. This inspiring event, offering both 10K and 5K distances, welcomes runners and walkers of all levels to the picturesque Hahamongna Watershed Park. The course itself is a beautiful blend of road and flat, compact trail, guiding participants through the historic Devils Gate Dam and into the expansive Hahamongna Watershed. Start and finish lines are conveniently located just north of the Rose Bowl in the Oak Grove Park area, directly across from La Cañada High School.

More than just a race, the RUN FOR THE HEALTH OF IT is a powerful initiative by the Grandview Foundation, an organization with over 50 years of community dedication to addiction recovery. The event highlights the vital link between physical activity and mental well-being, actively involving clients, alumni, and staff in promoting healthier lives. Participants can expect well-supported aid stations, with the 2024 event providing two water stops for 10K runners and one for the 5K, alongside a first aid station staffed by a licensed doctor.

Your registration includes a commemorative T-shirt and a well-deserved Finisher Medal. Awards will be presented for overall best times and various age categories, with additional raffle prizes adding to the festive atmosphere. Free parking is readily available at Hahamongna Watershed Park and around La Cañada High School, ensuring a smooth start to your race day. Registration and packet pick-up open at 6:45 AM, with runners gathering at the starting line by 7:45 AM for an 8:00 AM race start. Join this supportive community in La Cañada Flintridge and run for your health, for recovery, and for a better life.
