Aztlan Athletics’ 2022 Griffith Park Half Marathon and 5K, which benefits the Los Angeles Parks Foundation, will be held on Feb. 13, and registration is now open.

During the half marathon, participants will start at the north-end of the pony ride trail adjacent to the ranger station and will pass by the trail, then cross over Crystal Springs Road and access the trail going into the Merry Go Round, then toward famous Travel Town.

Finally, participants will pass by the Los Angeles Zoo and the Autry Museum of the American West, cover the perimeter of the golf course and finish near pony ride area. Runners and walkers will have access to Pocari Sweat electrolytes, water and restrooms. Run GPR is open to all levels of ability.

The 5K course will be a flat and fast route. Families are welcome to participate, and strollers may be used. Pets must be on a leash and start with their owners at the back of the line with the strollers and parents. Slower runners/joggers should start just behind the front group.

Water stations will be located every three miles along the route of the half marathon. The half marathon begins at 7:30 a.m., and line-up is no later than 7:15 a.m. The 5K begins at 8:30 a.m.
