The Griffith Park Trail Marathon was created by Keira Henninger to give an opportunity for runners to accomplish running on trails longer than they ever imagined possible. This is a faster course with some solid good hills, and up to fourteen flat fast runnable miles. You will cross paths with every historical landmark that Griffith Park has to offer, and experience the magic of what this special place has to see.
