The second annual Pasadena Half Marathon & 5K at the Rose Bowl will take place on Sunday, January 21, 2018, which approximately 10,000 athletes will participate in. Both the half marathon and the 5K start at 7AM just outside the Rose Bowl.
For those not registered to run, we encourage you to come out and cheer and line the picturesque course, which takes runners through beautiful Pasadena, passing landmarks like the Colorado Street Bridge, Old Town Pasadena and Cal Tech University before they’ll enjoy a majestic finish on the field at the world-famous Rose Bowl. This year’s event features a corporate challenge division as well as the Rose Bowl Rush Kids Run, in which 200 kids between the ages of 3-8 years will participate in the 400 meter dash, which also finishes inside the bowl.
Before Sunday’s event at- and around the Rose Bowl, the week-end festivities kick-off with a Health and Fitness Expo at the Pasadena Convention Center, which is open to the public – and free. The opening hours are 3-7PM on Friday, January 19th and from 10AM – 5PM on Saturday, January 20th. For more information, visit https://www.pasadenahalf.com
