Additional Information

Because this a National Ranking Event, the registration system will have a few differences from our usual local events. It will default to offering you the appropriate course for your OUSA age/gender class. You may scroll through the list offered to find the class for the course you prefer to run.


Group registration is now enabled. If you are planning on running together with others on the same course, please register as follows:

  • On the first page of the registration form enter the participant information for ONE primary member of your group.

  • On the Race Selection page, choose the option which includes both the word "group" and the course you want to run. These are likely to be near the bottom of the dropdown list.

  • Under "Running as a group" follow the on-screen instructions to provide your group name, names of other group members and to add the fees for the additional group members.

  • The online waiver applies only to the primary group member. Other group members should bring a signed waiver with them or sign one on site.


The following standard LAOC protocols will be in place at this event:

  • Please pre-register. $10 additional fee per person for on-site registration dependent on map availability.

  • Assigned start blocks. Registration form asks for your start time preference. Your preference is not guaranteed. The earlier you register, the more likely that you get your preferred start.

  • We will place water on the course in accordance with OUSA rules. We will also have water available at the assembly area.

  • Please take advantage of our online pre-event beginner clinic information. If you need additional training or have questions, let us know when you arrive. On-site training will depend on volunteer availability.

  • Please do not attend if you are sick.
