About the DoggieRun 4K/5K
The course runs through Griffith Park, so expect tree cover, wide paths, and the kind of terrain that works for dogs as much as runners. The race is explicitly built around bringing your dog, and it benefits a foundation that supports dogs in need, so the crowd skews toward people there for the cause as much as the clock.
Packet pickup is the evening before at a running club in Pasadena, with race-morning pickup available as a backup. Bib pickup closes shortly before the start, so plan to arrive with time to spare. Late registration is accepted at both locations, but only card payments or exact cash.
