Race to Cure Sarcoma at Griffith Park, Nov 15

Race to Cure Sarcoma takes over Griffith Park on Sunday, November 15, 2026, with an early start and a late-morning finish. It is a fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA), and it is the kind of outdoor event that turns a normal park morning into something with a purpose. If you are putting together a list of things happening in Los Angeles this month, this one belongs on it.

When: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM Where: Griffith Park, 4800 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles Cost: Not listed on the event page; check registration for current pricing

What this event is about

Sarcoma is a rare cancer that develops in bone or connective tissues, including fat, muscle, blood vessels, nerves and the tissue around joints. Because it is rare, it gets far less public attention than other cancers. The organizers say participating and donating to SFA supports more than 200,000 patients and their families who are living with sarcoma.

The money helps SFA keep acting as a leading voice for the sarcoma community. That means investing in cutting-edge research and raising awareness, so that fewer people hear the diagnosis for the first time without knowing what it is. The organizers frame the day simply: together, they want to change the world for sarcoma patients.

What to expect

The event page does not publish a course map, distances or a schedule, so check the official registration page before you go. What it does give us is the window: 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM. That is an early morning, which in Griffith Park usually means cool air, long shadows and fewer crowds than the afternoon rush toward the Observatory.

Bring what you would bring to any morning outing in the park: comfortable shoes, water and a layer you can shed once the sun is up. Whether you run, walk or come to cheer a friend, this is a community morning, and a good one for families and anyone who wants to put their weekend toward a cause.

Getting there

The listed address is 4800 Crystal Springs Drive. Parking in Griffith Park can fill up fast on a weekend, so leave yourself extra time, especially with a 7:30 AM start. Carpooling or a rideshare drop-off keeps the morning easy, and it means you are not circling for a spot while the event gets going.
