Directions: From Irvine, take I-405 North to Harbor Blvd. Right on
Harbor. First left on South Coast Drive. First right on Hyland Avenue. OC Mix will be on your left.
About the Run: Flat out-and-back along the Santa Ana River Trail. It’s about 12 miles round trip to the beach where there are restrooms, water (and ocean views!) but you can always tailor the distance to your needs. Follow Sunflower until the road ends. Continue straight onto the sidewalk (see yellow dashed line on the path) until you reach the riverbed trail. Check carefully for cyclists before turning left onto the trail. There is water at Moon Park, about a mile from the start of the run. Restrooms and water are at HB State Park, just under 6 miles from the start of the run. Continue on the path toward the HB pier. Run as long or short as you like.
