CHEER ON OUR LA 5K RUNNERS
SATURDAY, MARCH 15TH AT 6:45AM!
Come cheer on the LA 5K Running for Reading to Kids Team Saturday, March 15th 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 5K is free, and you can meet our LA 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 5K race: Due to street closures for the LA 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.)
Please email us at
marathon@readingtokids.org if you can cheer them on that Saturday - or simply show up!
