Valley Crest Half Marathon

The Valley Crest Half-Marathon is a Road Runner's Club of America State Championship Race! A hilly mountain trail half-marathon on historic Mulholland fire road in the Santa Monica Mountains will treat runners to beautiful spring foliage and magnificent vistas of the San Fernando Valley. The race is held in early June, and typically has cool, over cast weather. The course is entirely on city-maintained fire roads, with aid stations approximately every 3.0 miles.

We strongly recommend that you pre-register. We do offer race day registration until the race sells out, but we can't guarantee shirts and/or shirt sizes for runners who register after May 1. There's also a discount for those who sign up in advance, so why not save a couple bucks too?

Because of the popularity of the Valley Crest Half Marathon, 2015 will bring you the newVALLEY CREST 10K as part of the half marathon venue. The half marathon will take off, heading west, at 8:00 am; the 10k will take off at 8:15 am, heading east, to run the back half of the half marathon race course.. We are so excited to bring a whole new class of trail runners to the VCHM. Note: Because this race is held in conjunction with the half marathon on hilly trails, all runners must be age 14 or older.
