Sorry, registration is closed, we have reached our capacity
Jed & Ted's Excellent Races proudly present the second annual Beyond The Streets 5K, 10K & Half Marathon.
Join us on February 7, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. as we take over the headwaters of the Los Angeles River near Canoga Park High School. This run is all about the real LA River experience, the sights, the sounds, the quiet moments, the unexpected pockets of life. and the community that moves along it.
This event is FREE, but we encourage donations. Every dollar goes directly to North Valley Caring Services, supporting the people and families who need it most. You’ll see an option to donate during registration.
We're making this event free because we want everyone to be able to show up, move their body, and be part of something good: no barriers, no pressure, no financial gatekeeping. But if you’re able to donate, even a little, it makes a real difference.
All donations go directly to North Valley Caring Services, an organization doing hands-on work with people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and crisis right here in the Valley. They run meal programs, hygiene services, family support programs, and help folks get back on their feet with dignity and real, practical assistance.
Think of it this way:
WE cover the race. YOU cover what you can. TOGETHER we lift up our neighbors.
If this run brings you joy, clarity, community, or a sense of purpose, consider sharing some of that forward. Every dollar goes straight to NVCS, and every dollar helps someone move beyond survival and toward stability.
Come be part of something meaningful and memorable, the start of a race that grows with the river, the city, and the community around it.
Bring your sweetie and run with us on Valentine's Day!

June 27, 2026 · 8:00 p.m. PST · 6846 Owensmouth Ave, Canoga Park, CA
Join us for Boogie Nights 5K & 10K After Dark — a disco-drenched nighttime run through the Valley where polyester reigns, vibes are high, and everybody’s a star at the finish line.
Presented by Jed & Ted’s Excellent Races
Roller skates. Gold chains. Big dreams. Inspired by the unforgettable energy of Boogie Nights (yes, that Boogie Nights), this race is a tribute to the over-the-top sparkle and grit of 70s/80s California cool — with just enough late-night chaos to make it magic.
Choose your challenge:
Boogie Nights 5K – A funky little sprint with serious Dirk Diggler attitude
Boogie Nights 10K – Twice the disco, double the dazzle
Expect funk and soul on the speakers, throwback signage, and a crowd ready to dance their way to the finish. Costumes welcome. Big collars and roller flair encouraged.
This is a Jed & Ted’s Excellent Race — fun, fast, and full of heart.
Sign up now. You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power.
🌀 Multiverse Option (Virtual Runners Welcome)
Can’t make it in person? No problem — we’re bringing the disco to your dimension.
Choose the Multiverse Option during registration and select your distance (5K or 10K).
Then:
✅ Run anytime between June 27–30
✅ Track it however you like (Strava, NRC, selfie — we’re chill)
✅ Submit your proof and shipping info
✅ We’ll send your medal straight from the Valley to your door
Same race. Same medal. Different timeline.

Blacklist LA started in 2013 with a radical idea: running could rewire how Los Angeles connects with itself. Founded on the belief that the city's sprawl is not a barrier but a canvas, the crew has grown to over 300 runners who show up Monday nights at 10pm without hesitation. Their philosophy is straightforward, running is a vehicle for community and cultural discovery. Every Monday night, they gather at Walt Disney Concert Hall and hit the streets toward the city's street art, turning late-night Los Angeles into a living gallery. Art, transit, and open roads are all fair game. For Blacklist LA, civic pride runs as deep as the miles.
In 2013, David Gómez and Elisa García asked a question that split the Los Angeles running scene: why did running clubs thrive only in wealthier neighborhoods? From their roots in Boyle Heights, East LA, they started the Boyle Heights Bridge Runners with one mission: create a space that belongs to their community. Every Wednesday night, runners gather at Mariachi Plaza and set out across the bridges that link their neighborhood to downtown, a route that has become iconic. What began as a small group has grown into a beacon for the city, drawing mechanics, teachers, artists, and activists into something deeper than miles. The crew stands for unity and inclusivity, proving that running can bridge not just geography but divides. Today, BHBR reminds LA that every neighborhood deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated on the streets.
