👣 ABOUT THE EVENT
Something has been spotted in Griffith Park.
Strange footprints. Movement between the trees. Branches snapping when no one else seems to be around.
Some say it was a hiker.
Some say it was wildlife.
Others are absolutely convinced Bigfoot is roaming Griffith Park.
On February 28, we're going looking for him.
Welcome to BIGFOOT, a 5K, 10K and 15K running adventure through one of Los Angeles' most iconic parks.
Keep your eyes on the trees. Watch for footprints. And if you hear something moving behind you...
Maybe run a little faster.
Will you spot Bigfoot?
Will you leave Griffith Park a believer?
There's only one way to find out.

Race it hard. Jog it with friends. Walk it. Bring your crew.
Just remember:
Every trip around the park is another chance to see him.
👀 BIGFOOT WATCH
Bigfoot has been part of American folklore for generations—a mysterious, towering creature said to roam forests and wilderness just beyond where we're looking.
And for one morning, we're bringing the legend to Griffith Park.
You may notice a few unusual things along the course.
A footprint that seems a little too large.
Something moving between the trees.
Maybe even a Bigfoot sighting.
Was it real?
Was it your imagination?
We're not saying.
Keep your eyes on the trees.
