About the Santa Anita Derby Day 5K
This race takes place at Santa Anita Park, the horse racing track in Arcadia. The course runs through the infield, so you are surrounded by the grandstands and the track itself, which gives the whole morning a setting you do not get at most road races. The post-race celebration stays on the grounds, making it a longer outing than a typical run-and-go event.
