About Students Run LA (SRLA)

This is an 18-mile run open to SRLA participants and the community. It is designed to be a training run for the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon, with a course that makes use of inclines, declines and a two mile stretch that will give runners an idea that at some point during any run, you will have to look at your community for help when you want to give up.

The 18-mile course consists of two 9-mile loops starting in Hansen Dam Park, going out along the streets, crossing the two mile dam, and then after the second loop the run finishes in the park. Water stations and toilets will be available throughout the course, except for the 2-mile section across the dam. Water stations will be located before the dam and after exiting the dam.
