Event Description

Jed & Ted's Excellent Races proudly present the second annual Beyond The Streets 5K, 10K & Half Marathon.

Join us on February 7, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. as we take over the headwaters of the Los Angeles River near Canoga Park High School. This run is all about the real LA River experience, the sights, the sounds, the quiet moments, the unexpected pockets of life. and the community that moves along it.

This event is FREE, but we encourage donations. Every dollar goes directly to North Valley Caring Services, supporting the people and families who need it most. You’ll see an option to donate during registration.

We're making this event free because we want everyone to be able to show up, move their body, and be part of something good: no barriers, no pressure, no financial gatekeeping. But if you’re able to donate, even a little, it makes a real difference.

All donations go directly to North Valley Caring Services, an organization doing hands-on work with people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and crisis right here in the Valley. They run meal programs, hygiene services, family support programs, and help folks get back on their feet with dignity and real, practical assistance.

Think of it this way:

WE cover the race. YOU cover what you can. TOGETHER we lift up our neighbors.

If this run brings you joy, clarity, community, or a sense of purpose, consider sharing some of that forward. Every dollar goes straight to NVCS, and every dollar helps someone move beyond survival and toward stability.

Come be part of something meaningful and memorable, the start of a race that grows with the river, the city, and the community around it.
