Team Wildwoods is proud to announce their participation as an
Official Charity of the 2010 Honda Los Angeles Marathon & NPN 5K
March 20 & 21 at Dodger Stadium.
The LA Marathon is a world-class sporting event that celebrates the best of Los Angeles. And it's a great way to help get the word out about the work that we do.
To mark the 25th anniversary, the LA Marathon unveils a dramatic new course this year with the well-deserved title “Stadium to the Sea,” running from Dodger Stadium to the Santa Monica Pier and through iconic neighborhoods and landmarks like Sunset Strip, Rodeo Drive and Hollywood Blvd.
This year's LA Marathon also marks the largest expected participation in its history with 25,000 runners taking to the streets of Los Angeles for this scenic cross-town run, taking off from Dodger Stadium at 7:20 a.m. on Sunday, March 21.
On the day before, Team Wildwoods will run in the NPN 5K Run/Walk at Dodger Stadium, 8:00 a.m. Saturday, March 20.Participation in the 5K Run/Walk is open to the whole family and it's easy to join online.
