10K: Two loops of the 5K course

The 1 Miler Doggie/Kid/Family Run is all about joy—short, sweet, and perfect for pups and their humans to share the experience together.
🌟 The Vibe – CaliFlow Style
At CaliFlow Runs, we don’t just put on races—we create spaces where people (and pups) feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
This is where:
🐾 Dogs become running partners
🐾 Strangers become friends
🐾 And finish lines turn into full-on celebration zones
No pressure. No judgment. No one gets left behind.
✨ Final Word
Run fast. Walk slow. Bluff your way to a win.
Or just show up for the vibes.
Come for the run. Stay for the vibe. Bring your best friend. 🐾♠️
