Overall, easy run. 5k people run through Knotts Berry Farm. 10k people run through Knotts then out into the city streets. Peanuts characters were there to take pictures with you. Cute finisher’s medal and their famous pies are at the finish line. Decent number of vendors and freebies.

Another club race for me. I’ve done this several years in a row. Super fun to run through Knotts. They do a pretty good job of making sure there’s not bottle neck points. Cute medal and PIE at the end!

This 5k run in Buena Park, CA starts at Soak City, USA parking lot and then continues through Knott’s Berry Farm and Ends running through Soak City. The 10K version continues on city streets for the last 3.1 miles. It is put on by Renegade Racing and Benefits The Kids of Speech and Development Language Center.
This is my second time doing this run in the last 3 years and both times rain paid a big part. Rain was rather heavy leading up to the race and luckily it stopped just minutes before start never to return.
When your bid is issued you are assigned to Corrals (or Waves) and you are lined up accordingly. Waves get starts every 2 minutes starting at 7am. This is good since there are times the course gets narrow – especially when entering the tunnel under Beach blvd that leads to Knott’s. The course is otherwise flat and scenic as you make your way around the park. There were a few photo op situations for those looking for that. There was one water station around mile 2.
At the finish you are lined up for your medal and a piece of Boysenberry Pie. The expo is better then most with plenty of samples, future race booths, sportswear and other sights as well as more photo opportunities.
Parking is at the adjacent Sears at the Mall which was fine since it is very close.

In 2015, this race was still at Knott’s Berry Farm and I ran it three years in a row! I really liked this race and it was a nice and easy flat course. The best part was you got pie at the end!! My one complaint is that the course seemed to always be short, so although this is my 5K PR at this time, I am not sure I actually ran the 3.1 miles. The scenery is a little boring once you get out of the park, but it was still fun. I can’t participate in it now that it moved to Six Flags – too far.

Easy, flat run but bottle necks here and there. Some runners are very aggressive and will push or curse at you. Loved that the Peanuts characters were out and available to take pictures with you. You get a cotton Tshirt, finisher’s medal and slice of pie.

Quick flat course. If you’re looking to set your 5k PR, this may be the race for you. Atmosphere is fun and perfect to invite family and friends for a fun run or simply to watch!
Runner Beware: March weather is unpredictable. Make sure to plan ahead as each year it is very different.

Flat, easy course with a few narrow spots that cause congestion. The pie at the end of the race is a nice touch. The kids’ run through the park is fun and short. Overall, it’s a good excuse to eat a good meal of chicken and dumplings at the park restaurant.

course is boring, you run by Knotts, but not really through it, and in the 10k you do two loops of the second half of the race around a neighborhood. relatively flat at least and good food and such at the post race including slices of knotts boysenberry pie.
parking is very easy, basically at the start line.
no crowd issues since it is not a huge race
