By joining our team, your commitment will help inspire children with a love of reading, thereby enriching their lives and opportunities for future success. The dollars you raise will go to support our monthly reading clubs!
You can either run the entire marathon on March 8th, or you can join us in the LA 5K (that's just 3.1 miles) starting and ending at Dodger Stadium the day before the marathon on Saturday, March 7th, 2025.
