A Snail's Pace Running Academy Brea/Yorba Linda chapter began in 2002 with only two classes for the Long Beach half and full marathons. The class was so successful that we never stopped.

All our classes meet together in Anaheim at Yorba Linda Regional Park on Saturday mornings at 7:00 am. We meet on the south end of the park near the baseball diamonds and the large dirt lot. The park is located on La Palma Ave just west of Fairmont.
