About the Citrus Heritage Run
The course runs through the California Citrus State Historic Park, weaving past working orange groves where the trees are close enough to smell as you pass. The terrain is relatively gentle, and on a clear morning the surrounding mountain ranges sit on the horizon the whole way. Live bands are posted along the route, so there is something to listen to besides your own breathing.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at Arlington Heights Sports Park, with race-morning pickup available at the same location starting early. Parking is spread across several nearby lots, including a church and a school, depending on which distance you are running. The finish area opens into a festival space with freshly squeezed orange juice, warm food, beer, and mimosas.
