About the Terminator 2 Trot: 5K & 10K
The course follows the Los Angeles River, the concrete channel made famous by a chase scene in the film the race is named for. It is flat the whole way, with several distance options. Themed signage lines the route, and costumes are common enough that showing up in one feels normal rather than out of place.
The start is near Canoga Park High School. Post-race, expect music with a heavy lean toward eighties and nineties tracks, and a crowd that is mostly there for the theme as much as the running.

The Terminator 2 Trot: 5K & 10K has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
