South El Monte, CA
The race starts and finishes at the City Hall parking lot, which keeps things simple and central. The shorter distance is genuinely short, the kind of thing you can run with a kid or a grandparent, while the main course gives you a proper morning effort. The whole event has a neighborhood feel, with the holiday weekend bringing out families alongside the faster runners.
