Hi Legger,
This is the week we have all been working so hard for...it's time for the LA Marathon! We wish all of our racers an amazing race and thank you to all of our volunteers in advance. This Saturday, we have an inspirational speaker at 7am, followed by a group photo. Then you can feel free to join us in our 1-mile ceremonial shake-out run/walk, up to California and back. You'll also have the chance to drop any of your race support items in bins 1, 2 or 3 until 9:15am.
Reminder to register for our End of Season Celebration, being held this year on Sat 4/6 at Brick + Mortar in Santa Monica. Get your tickets now for the best pricing!
If you're not participating in the LA marathon, we'd love to have you volunteer to support. Today is the last day to signup for station or ballroom help as well as the finish line late shift (organized by Conqur but staffed by LEGGERS).
See you on the pavement!

Get inspired this Saturday and join us to hear Jimmy Dean Freeman's inspirational talk before our ceremonial shake-out mile. Jimmy is a long-time friend of the LEGGERS, coach and competitive ultra-marathoner with numerous LA Marathons under his belt.
He will inspire and make you laugh in preparation for the big day. He starts at 7am, but get there early for a good seat!

LAM Bag drop
Put your favorite drink, snack or comfort item in a bin to pick up on the course at miles 7.5 (station 1), 16 (station 2) or 23 (station 3).
- Bin drops are available Sat 3/23 from 6:30 to 9:15 at 1450 in the lobby.
- Will also be available marathon morning at the Doubletree ballroom ONLY UNTIL 4:30, at which time we will transport them to the course.
- All items need to be in ziplock bags with your name and pace group written clearly in dark color and large font....to make seeing the bag in the midst of the race as easy as possible.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who have signed up! You will receive detailed emailed instructions this week. Today is the LAST DAY to signup >> Sign up here for stations 1/2/3 and ballroom.

FAQs
We have answers to all of your questions about the Skechers Performance LA Marathon (SPLAM) here. This is a living doc that we'll keep updated until the race. Also, don't forget to reserve a parking spot here. If you need your car at the finish, you'll need to reserve parking in Santa Monica. We recommend the Civic Center lot if you want to be close to the DoubleTree. Learn more about SPLAM parking.
