CHEER ON OUR BIG 5K RUNNERS THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 16TH AT 6:45AM!
Come cheer on the LA BIG 5K Running for Reading to Kids Team this Saturday as they run near Dodger Stadium!
We will be there starting at 6:30 am. Arrive before 7:30 am to avoid the crowds and provide time to walk from your car to the beginning of the race route.
Parking for the LA BIG 5K is free, and you can meet our Big 5K runners at 6:45 am at this location next to the picnic tables marked in blue below (click the below image to see a larger version). The race starts at 8am and will probably end by 9am.
Getting to the LA BIG 5K race: Due to street closures for the LA BIG 5K, only two entrances will be open to Dodger Stadium: Sunset Gate A, accessible via Sunset Blvd., and Downtown Gate E, accessible via CA-110. These gates will open at 5:30 am. (Note: The Golden State Gate, accessible via I-5, will be closed due to street closures.)

You can also cheer on our marathon runners at our course support booth located at Burton Way and N. Palm Dr. from 8:30am - 11:30am this Sunday, March 17th.
