South Pasadena Tiger Run 5K/10K

South Pasadena Tiger Run 5K/10K is held in South Pasadena, California, on December 5, 2026. The 10K (6.2 miles) and the 5K (3.1 miles) both start at 8:00 AM as run or walk events, and a 1K for younger participants follows at 9:30 AM. The route uses the tree-lined streets of historic South Pasadena, inside the Los Angeles area, and you can run or walk whichever format matches your fitness.

Because it is a flat-feeling neighborhood road race in early December, the 10K works nicely as a end-of-year benchmark: run the first two miles a touch conservatively and press over the second half. The 5K suits newer runners and families. The event is put on by the South Pasadena High School Booster Club and raises money for more than 50 student clubs and activities, from athletics to the arts and academics, so entry fees stay in the community.
