On Mean Girls Day, October 3rd, 2026 he asked you what day it was. You said it’s October 3rd.
Now lace up and run.
Welcome to The Mean Girls 5K, 10K and Half Marathon, a pink powered comedy fueled tribute to the most quotable high school ever. This event transforms the LA River Path into North Shore High where every runner is either trying to make fetch happen or survive gym class without being personally victimized by Regina George.
Presented by Jed and Ted’s Excellent Races.
Wear pink if it’s Wednesday. Wear sweatpants only if it’s Saturday. Do not wear army pants and flip flops unless you want everyone else to buy army pants and flip flops.
This is your chance to run like you’re late for Calc, dodge Regina’s bus, and earn a medal pretty enough for the Spring Fling Court.
Choose your challenge:
The Burn Book 5K - A fast and funny out and back perfect for anyone who wants to run, walk, gossip, or talk about how butter is a carb.
The Glen Coco 10K - Six point two miles of pure candy cane energy. You go Glen Coco. Treat yourself and your friends. None for Gretchen Wieners.
The Full Plastics Half Marathon - Thirteen point one miles of pure drama control. Stay hydrated. Stay cute. Try not to start a three way call attack. Cross the finish feeling like the new Spring Fling Queen.
The Multiverse Lunch Table Dash (Virtual) - Run from anywhere. Work. School. Your bedroom. Africa.
Costumes Welcome
Pink everything
Plastics energy
Mathletes jackets
Mrs. Norbury teacher vibes

Walk Their Journey. Change Their Future.
Join us for a powerful and transformative experience at the Walk for Water 5K Charity Fundraiser, co-hosted by Pathway To Tomorrow and Drop of Water. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a step into the daily reality that millions of women and girls in Africa face just to access something as basic as water.
Every day, women and girls spend 200 million hours hauling unclean water, often walking miles under a burning sun, along dangerous paths, carrying heavy containers. Every two minutes, a child dies from a water-borne disease, and 1.5 million children under five die annually in Africa from diarrhea caused by unsafe water.
Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous country, is in the grip of this devastating water crisis. Nearly half of its 125 million people lack access to clean water, according to UNICEF.
The situation is even worse in rural areas — where 80% of Ethiopians live and are hit hardest by this crisis, forcing women and girls to walk long distances just to find unclean water. Girls are expected to miss school to collect water for their families. Each journey robs a girl of her education, her safety, and her childhood. For far too many, these walks end in tragedies, like gender-based violence and death — not just exhaustion.
We walk not just for awareness—but for action.
This 5K fundraiser challenges participants to take 7,000 steps, representing the average distance many walk each day to collect water. As you walk, you’ll carry not just steps—but stories. Stories of resilience, hardship, and hope. You'll walk in solidarity with those who can’t just turn on a tap.
We’re asking each participant to go further by asking friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor their steps with a donation to the cause, or join their team to fundraise or walk alongside them!
Our goal? To raise $250,000 to fund 2 deep borehole wells and rural piping systems in up to 16 rural villages in Ethiopia. This will provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water for up to 16,000 people.
Your steps can change a life. Your walk can build a well.
Register today. Walk their path. Bring water home.
The 5K route is along the Main Trail at Griffith Park - 4800 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027
The course is flat, scenic and shaded, covering the perimeter of the golf course.
Join us for inaugral year of Cirque Series at Mt Baldy. 9.1 miles featuring 3,926' ft vert.

Funds raised for this event benefit all programs of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley that support Mental Health. The event's namesake, Fredrick Michael Gibson, was a caring, intelligent, and academically accomplished you man who enjoyed tennis, video games, and spending time with his beloved family. Tragically, in 2014, before he finished his last year at UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy, Fredrick lost his life to depression. Every year the community and many of Fredrick's family members, including race coordinator and Fredrick's aunt — Karen Finmark, come together to honor Fredrick by raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding depression, and supporting others to get life-saving mental health services. This event aims to stop the silent suffering of those with depression and invites participants to walk, run, and heal together.

Running for a Cure
This event proudly supports Not Today Cancer and their mission to find a cure for childhood cancers.
Despite rising childhood cancer rates, only 4% of U.S. federal cancer research funding goes toward pediatric cancers.
When Mason was just 9 years old, he was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). His treatment relied on chemotherapy drugs that have been used for decades- a painful reminder of how underfunded pediatric cancer research remains.
For two years, Mason and his family lived by the mantra “Not Today, Cancer.” After Mason’s passing, that spirit inspired the creation of the Not Today Cancer Foundation, dedicated to advancing research and offering hope to families like his.
Scientists are closer than ever to finding a cure and your participation helps make that possible.

This event supports NOT TODAY CANCER and their mission to find a CURE for devastating childhood cancers.
Despite childhood cancer rates being on the rise, a desperately small amount of US Federal Funding for Cancer Research goes to children.
When Mason was 9 years old he was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). His cancer was treated with chemotherapies that have been in use for decades, because there is a devastating lack of funding for new treatments with better outcomes!
For two years, Mason and his family used the slogan “Not Today Cancer'“ as their mantra and when he died from the disease, the journey continued and this local non-profit was founded in Mason's honor. Scientists are close to a cure to help children like Mason and you can help!
NOT TODAY CANCER
