Children who love to run got a chance to experience the thrill of starting their own “fun run” at the official LA Marathon start line on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
About 450 children were registered for the LA Kids Run, a quarter-of-a-mile run that is a “point-to-point” course that ended at the nearby LA 5K finish line (a short walk from the starting line).
Children were arranged with the oldest in front (ages 7-8), followed by “waves” of ages from 6 to 3. Parents were able, and encouraged, to run with their child ages 6 and younger. Children who ran solo were reunited with their parent at the reunion corral near the finish line.
The 9:45 a.m. Kids Run followed the 8 a.m. kickoff to the race weekend, the LA 5K. The fun and family-friendly 5K is for runners and walkers of all abilities to take part in the marathon weekend experience (mccourtfoundation.org/event/la-5k/course/).
Children who were registered participants received an Asics technical t-shirt to wear on race-day. All finishers received an exclusive finisher medal when they crossed the finish line.
The children can save the medal, along with their official runners bib, plus plenty of memories from the event. They can also dream about running the 26.2-mile LA Marathon someday.
However, they can also set their sights on participating in the next LA Kids Run Challenge Medal (mccourtfoundation.org/kids-run-challenge/). The 2026 LA Kids Run is the final race event that included the Santa Monica Classic Kids Run and the Rose Bowl Kids Run. mccourtfoundation.org/event/la-5k/la-kids-run/
