5K, 10K Course Information: 7:30 am Start
The 5K Run/Walk will start in the parking lot of Knott's Berry Farm and travel through the Beach Blvd. underpass and make a right on Grand Ave. Participants will then travel through the actual Knott's Berry Farm theme park before exiting again back on Grand. After traveling past the famous Mrs. Knott's Fried Chicken Restaurant and under the Silver Bullet roller coaster, participants will run back through the Beach Blvd. underpass. Keep a look out for Independence Hall before entering Soak City Water Park. Participants will be almost home as they exit onto Stanton and at this point it's only 0.10 of a mile before they get their medal and slice of Boysenberry pie.

The 10K Run follows the same 5K course, but from Stanton will continue out on the streets of Buena Park to finish off their extra 3.1 miles. 10K Participants will enjoy seeing the surrounding neighborhoods and Buena Park Downtown Shopping Center before returning back to the Knott's Berry Farm Parking lot.
