Upper Las Virgenes Canyon parkrun

Bus: The 169 Metro stops at the corner of Valley Circle Blvd and Victory - the start is ¾ mile walk up Victory. There is 0.8 mile walk up Victory Blvd to the start with 350 feet of climbing.

For Ride share like Uber or Lyft, have the driver put in “Victory Trailhead” as the destination and be sure they drive through the stop sign at the end of the street, through the black iron gates and then through the wooden arch into the dirt parking lot before they drop you.

The start can be accessed by foot or bike up Victory Blvd. There is 0.8 mile walk up Victory Blvd to the start with 350 feet of climbing.

Parking:

• West end of Victory Blvd. The street ends at the parking lot. If you are driving, put “Victory Trailhead” as the destination. There is a stop sign at the end of the street, followed by black iron gates and a wooden arch into the dirt parking lot at the end.
• From the 101 Freeway, exit Valley Circle/Mulholland and go 2 miles north on Valley Circle to Victory - turn left.
• From the 118, exit Topanga and drive South 6 miles to Victory - turn right and drive to the end of Victory Blvd.
• We encourage use of the parking lot right at the start (requires $3 in bills or coin) as it is convenient and the fees support the park. Street parking is available further down Victory or in the neighborhood, but it is restricted in places, so do not park where there are signs that read "No Stopping Anytime".

Every week we grab a post-parkrun coffee: East Coast Bagel, about 3 miles from the trailhead adjacent to the 101 Freeway. Please come and join us!

Upper Las Virgenes Canyon parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

• Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
• Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
• Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
• We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
• Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
• Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
• If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
• If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
• It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
• Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
• You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
• parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Upper Las Virgenes Canyon parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
