For the first time ever, the Honda LA Marathon is offering a 2-Person Charity Marathon!  Maybe you’re not in shape to run a full marathon by March 18th, but how about a half marathon alongside 3000 other students and Leaders from Students Run LA?

Alums: Maybe you’ve wanted to connect with one of your former SRLA teammates and become involved with SRLA once again.

Parents and Friends:  Perhaps you’ve always wanted to experience the same euphoria that the students feel during the race but can’t quite commit to running 26.2 miles?  How about
committing to being a part of an SRLA relay team in the Honda LA Marathon?

Here’s how it works:

SRLA will be forming 2-person charity relay teams.  Each team member will run 13.1 miles, alongside the Marathon runners. The first leg of the Marathon will begin at Dodger Stadium and includes iconic neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Echo Park, Silverlake as well as landmarks including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Pantages Theatre, and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.  The second leg jumps immediately onto the Sunset Strip on its way to Santa Monica passing Santa Monica Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, the Veteran’s Administration, and finishing on Ocean Avenue, not far from the Santa Monica Pier.

SRLA is making these charity relay spots available for a minimum donation of $500 per team to SRLA.*
You’ll have an opportunity to run in the Honda LA Marathon, and will also have an opportunity to give back to SRLA by asking family and friends to sponsor you.   If the two of you together ask 20 people to sponsor you for $26 each, or 40 people to sponsor you for $13 each, you’ll make the $500 mark.

We have a limited number of charity relay slots available, so if you’re up to the challenge, contact SRLA as soon as possible at Karen@srla.org.   For more information about the 2-person Charity Marathon, visit the LA Marathon’s FAQ page:

If you’re interested in participating but don’t have a relay partner, that’s fine too. We’ll be matching up interested SRLA alums and friends with one another.

We’ll see you at the start or finish line on March 18, 2012.

* Note:  Your team will not be registered for the 2-Person Charity Marathon until your $500 is turned into the SRLA office.
