Description:
This run is a classic up a mountain down a mountain (with a few short climbs on the way back and almost a mile downhill to finish) led by @keith_kilgorejr. We also have a hike led by @fitvivruns. We're rewarded with sweeping views along the way that show off the City of Los Angeles from different lookouts. All routes are out and backs on a fire road, so nothing too technical – the challenge here is the climbs and the heat training (bring hydration).
Our meeting point is the start of the Verdugo Mountain Traverse at Chandler Trail, which is a neighborhood, so we'll be respectful of those who live there by keeping volume lower at the start.
As a strong note, the Verdugos are known for getting hot during the summer and there is no shade, so be sure to bring hydration (water or electrolytes), sunscreen up, wear a hat/shades, and come hydrated.
This is a group run and we stop at different points along the way to make sure the group is all together. All paces are welcome and supported with lead runners, sweeps, and floaters!
