The Master's University Winter 5K

The Master's University Winter 5K is an annual running event held at The Master's University in Santa Clarita, California, starting and finishing on Pete Reese Field. Since 2011, it has been popular among local runners for its welcoming atmosphere and scenic, flat course that winds through Placerita Canyon and Quigley Canyon Open Space. The event features multiple races including a Kids K for ages 13 and under, a competitive 5K Challenge aimed at runners targeting around 35 minutes, and a traditional 5K Run/Walk.

Participants receive event t-shirts and medallions, with awards given in the 5K Challenge by age group. The race is praised as a favorite way to start the new year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
