It's not just an event. It's a movement for safer streets in Southern California.

There is a reason why Santa Clarita is known as the Southern California hub of cycling and running -- scores of great bike paths and running trails snake through this wide-open and scenic valley. Join hundreds of your fellow cyclists and runners along the scenic San Francisquito Bike Path and beyond as well as riding the beautiful Santa Clara River Path. For those who want a serious ride, take on our Metric Century which travels up to Acton by the world-famous Vasquez Rocks.

BONUS!! We have added a 5K and 10K Costume Run/Walk you can walk or run! To throw in an extra twist, we will be giving out awards for best costume in addition to our top finisher awards! So, get creative and come dressed in your spooky best!

This event supports the non-profit, Streets Are For Everyone, whose mission is aiming to improve the quality of life for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers alike by reducing traffic fatalities and injuries. SAFE addresses the problem in a holistic fashion through direct education, broad awareness campaigns, partnerships, community outreach, policy and legislation, support for those impacted, and other proven strategies.

What began as one person’s effort to overcome tragedy has grown into a community movement advocating for safer streets in Southern California and beyond. By participating, you are helping raise awareness and support systemic changes—policies, education, infrastructure—that make roads safer for all through Streets Are For Everyone.
