Event Description
Pacific Sports LLC and the Rose Bowl Operating Company have teamed up to bring you the Rose Bowl Half Marathon, 10k, 5k and Kids 1K Run. Walkers are welcomed in all events! Strollers are OK in the 10K and 5K. The terrain over the 1/2 marathon is not safe for strollers.
This event will start and finish at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Half marathon competitors will have an opportunity to run past and through some of Pasadena’s greatest landmarks including the Rose Bowl, the Colorado Bridge, the Arroyo Seco, Devil’s Gate Dam, JPL, the new Flintwash Bridge and more! The course is scenic, periodically hilly and comprised of a combination of road and trail. Approximately 70% of the course is on the trails near Brookside Golf Course and Hahamongna Watershed Park. All races will end inside the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium.
