Hollywood Sign Run

Hollywood Sign Run | Hike is a Griffith Park trail-running and hiking event that welcomes participants of different ages and experience levels. Its 2027 event is scheduled for January 31 and features scenic courses through the park, including an 8-mile route to the Hollywood Sign Viewpoint, an 8K, a challenging 5K, and a 2.2K family-friendly kids’ run and walk. Participants can enjoy views of the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, Downtown Los Angeles, Glendale, and the Los Angeles River, with the closest sign views available on the 8-mile course.

The event offers more than a chance to run or hike. Participants receive a premium short-sleeve T-shirt and a finisher’s medal, while overall and age-grade division winners are recognized with awards and sponsor prizes. Race amenities include chip-timed results, course aid stations with medical staff, gear check, volunteer support, finish-line refreshments, and free photos for 8-mile participants. The event also features music, a DJ, an MC, and a Hollywood Walk of Fame-inspired race bib. Flexible deferral and transfer options are available.
