From Start Line to Finish Vibes
From Start Line to Finish Vibes
Our courses are open-pathway routes — meaning they’re held on pedestrian-friendly trails like beach paths, park loops, and river trails. They’re car-free, safe, and full of good energy. Whether you're racing for a PR or strolling in costume, you'll be on a scenic route with no traffic to worry about.
👟 Because these are shared public spaces, you may pass by other walkers, joggers, or casual strollers who didn’t sign up — but that’s part of the CaliFlow charm. Just stay aware and respectful of those around you.
🎧 Pro tip: Save the Metallica for your post-race drive. Please keep the volume low enough to hear voices and instructions around you.
Epic Race Photo Tips
Want to look like a galaxy-running legend in your pics? Here’s how to nail it:
🖼️ Find the Lens
If you see Nina — smile, pose, or throw your hands up like you just crossed the Rebel base finish line. Don’t hide behind Darth.
🙌 Celebrate That Finish
Throw up peace signs, arms overhead, or do a signature pose (Jedi stance encouraged). You earned that shot!
😅 Keep Running Through the Shot
Don’t slow down right before the camera. Keep your stride strong until you're past the lens — you’ll thank us later.
🎭 Costume Tips for Photos
Let your cape fly! (Just make sure it’s secure.) Bright colors, fun accessories, and bold expressions make for epic shots.
🧽 Wipe the Sweat... Or Don’t
Up to you. Want to look fierce and gritty? Rock that sparkle-sweat. Want a clean face for the photo? Give it a swipe before you spot the lens.
💁 Remember: It’s Free
All race photos are 100% free and posted after the event. So go big, go silly, go full Jedi.
