This is a fairly tough course with about 3.5 miles up, but then goes straight back down. One thing to be careful with is the trail section of the course because much of it is single track with some sections that open up to be able to pass. And you want to make sure that you are aware of runners coming down as you go up and vice versa. There are spotters on the side of the course to help prevent these kind of collisions. It is a very fun race with a nice post race that ends with a pancake breakfast at the fire station. The course is beautiful as you reach the waterfalls of Monrovia Canyon, and end in downtown Monrovia on Myrtle.

I love community events like this. Monrovia is proud of it’s canyon park, and it’s clear that they are proud of their race and community, too! The course was roped off so well that it was practically impossible to veer off course, and the volunteers and course marshals were plentiful and very helpful. This event is such that anyone can participate, from speedy runners to walkers. I just love the vibe at this event, and how it brings everyone together. The age group awards from A Snail’s Pace were great!
