People, look at the signs on the fence that show the direction of travel on the loop is counter-clockwise. If you're still determined to travel in the wrong direction, at least move to the center.

Great place to stop on the way home from work, pedal a few fast miles, get the endorphins flowing and release all that stress. Gets crowded after 5 pm on Tuesday and Thursday.

Don't mind the verbal garbage from cyclists. They come up very fast, Expecting joggers to see them from behind and cut into the jogging lanes & say things they might regret, even to women & children!

Many years ago before it became so crowded, I would go clockwise. But, I have seen way too many accidents and near misses since then. Do yourself a favor, go counterclockwise. Too many cars not too!

Best spot to watch people exercise in Pasadena and it can be challenging if you run up the east and west side hills.

sign says to run counter clockwise (the easy way) every race is clockwise (the hard way) just sayin if you want to know how it is on race day (RnR half, Pasadena Mary, fitness 5k, pasadena tri, etc

One of my favorite places to run. The loop can get a little busy and whenever there is a big event/game it’s not always easy/possible to run here. Keep fit everyone :-)

Great running loop here with a mixture of road and dirt trail. Lots of people around to pace or use as carrots to pick up your pace.

Great place to run; however, keep one eye on the golfers at all times...a stray ball bounced between my running partner and I one time.

Watchout for "stupid" wanna-be alpha cyclists! Coming from somebody that used to cycle, they really can be jerks. There are lines seperating jogging & cycling lanes from each other.

Mondays are super busy, so are Thursdays. Weekend afternoon is much better as peeps are mostly partying.

Counterclockwise. Follow the signs if you make laps around the stadium.

Who cares what way it goes.. Go whichever you like. Its a public running space. Everyone share the road.

I like going clockwise, counterclockwise, up, down, sideways, and any directions I can so as long I am keeping fit and healthy.

Avoid the flea market day. It's really crowded with shoppers and hard to find parking.
