Hi Legger,

We're so grateful to everyone who came out to support the club at Surf City on Sunday. And a big congratulations to all of our runners!

This weekend's run is a recovery week with 10 miles on the books. The route is North to the Totem Pole and then South to Jib. The 15 Runners are hosting a water station Ocean Park Blvd. As usual, Gail, our fearless bagel lady, will be at 1450 until 9:20 with bagels.

There is a lot happening over the next few weeks with the marathon fast approaching. Starting today, you can sign up to volunteer. As a reminder, with construction ongoing at the Doubletree Hotel, the LEGGERS are moving our pre- and post-marathon festivities to the Loew's Santa Monica Beach Hotel on Ocean & Olympic. More details in the 2020 L.A. Marathon FAQ document.

Applications for the 2020-2022 LEGGERS Board of Directors are now open! If you'd like to give back to the club, we highly encourage you to apply.

Last but not least, we have an exciting event this Saturday, 2/8, after our 10-miler. From 9-10am, the LEGGERS are hosting free coffee, tea and more at Capital One Cafe, at 401 Broadway, only 3 blocks from 1450 Ocean. More information below!

See you on the pavement!
 

Join the LEGGERS Board of Directors

If you have enjoyed the water stations, training schedule, t-shirts, emails, race support and a million other things this past season, then you have enjoyed the work of the LEGGERS board! If you'd like the chance to give back to the club and your fellow runners, now is the time to make that happen.

We are now accepting applications for our 2020-2022 board. Members serve a 2-year term, attend monthly board meetings and contribute their time and skills to the club in a variety of ways.  All completed applications must be in by Tuesday 2/25 and required interviews will be held Saturday 2/29.

Overall, being on the board is an extremely rewarding experience. If you have questions before applying, please email our current President, David, at president@laleggers.org.

2020 L.A. Marathon FAQ

We have answers to all of your questions about the 2020 L.A. Marathon presented by Asics here. This is a working document that we'll keep updated until the race. 

It looks like parking is not yet open, but we'll do our best to notify you when it is. If you need your car at the finish line, you'll need to reserve parking in Santa Monica. We recommend the Civic Center lot if you want to be close to the Loews. Learn more about parking here.

LEGGERS at Capital One Cafe

The LEGGERS are hosting an event this Saturday, 2/8, after our 10-miler. From 9-10am, join the LEGGERS for free coffee, tea & more at the Capital One Cafe, at 401 Broadway, only 3 blocks from 1450 Ocean.

All current members are invited to join, even if you don't make it to training.

Wear some LEGGERS gear so you can be identified, and we will pay for your favorite beverage. This is a great opportunity to meet LEGGERS in other pace groups and get tips on running and walking. Look for a board member when you arrive.

Wednesday Night Track

Our successful L.A. Marathon training segment has officially started! This series of workouts, which have been used over the past 20 years, is designed to complement your other training and prepare for the race.

Come join us! All runners and walkers are welcome, even those not participating in the L.A. Marathon.

You can find parking across the street from the track on 4th street in the 24/7 Civic Center garage or Civic Auditorium lot outdoor. Enter from 4th street, between Olympic and Pico. Parking fee information available here. There is also free parking in the neighborhoods South of Pico. Arrive early if you plan on hunting for free parking.
 

Mentor's Corner

Your weekly dose of advice from Coach Barry:

"As we close in on Marathon Day it is time to be more aware of our nutrition. Whole healthy foods, proper amounts of fat, protein, and carbs. We fuel the final weeks of build leading into our body's final thrust of growth during our recovery taper."
