- Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Night Stalker 5K, 10K & Half – (click for photos) – From stakes to splits, our Slayer squad lit up the Hellmouth with fearless miles and fang-tastic vibes. You ran like legends — and proved the night was yours

Our main Course is along the LA River, starting in Canoga Park. The 10k is an out and back along a beautiful 3 miles of uninterrupted paved path (no need to cross any traffic). 5k runners will only get to see half the course, and lucky half marathoners get to see the course twice as well as a bonus section.
We will always provide snacks and drinks at the start line as well as the 5k turn around. Our decorations are modest but will be themed for each run as will the medals. Hang around the finish line and talk with the race directors and meet new running friends, you’ll start to see familiar faces after a couple runs with us!
