About the Los Angeles Sunset Relays
The course runs through Griffith Park as the sun goes down, so you get skyline views during the race rather than just at the finish. It is trail running, with the kind of terrain that rewards proper shoes. There are solo and relay options, and a food truck and fruit and snacks are waiting at the finish.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a Fleet Feet in Burbank. Race-day pickup is available at Park Center inside Griffith Park, though the organizers suggest arriving well ahead of your start to leave time for parking and gear.

The Los Angeles Sunset Relays has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
