Race Information
Conquer the mountains in your own backyard! The City of Glendale presents the annual Verdugo Mountains 10k Trail Run & Hike. This event is produced by the City of Glendale's Community Services & Parks Department and benefits the Glendale Parks & Open Space Foundation.
The course begins in beautiful Brand Park, climbs steadily to one of the highest points in the Verdugo Mountains, and then heads back downhill for a fast descent to the finish. Breathtaking views of the L.A. Basin, the San Fernando Valley, and the Pacific Ocean await you at every turn. From the race’s highest point, at 2,536 feet above sea level, the panoramic view of the San Gabriel Mountains is truly spectacular.
