From the Organizer
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.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
