Marathon to Close Some Streets on Sunday

The race begins in Venice at 7 a.m. and ends in Playa del Rey by noon.

The Los Angeles 13.1-mile marathon will close a few streets in Venice and Marina del Rey on Sunday to accommodate runners.

The race begins at 7 a.m. on Rose Avenue and Ocean Front Walk and heads south to Marina del Rey and ends at Playa del Rey by noon.

Marathon organizers will be collecting shoes from runners and residents who wish to donate them to Union Rescue Mission, a nonprofit serving homeless people. Runners who trade in their shoes at the end of the race will be given new flip-flops.

Race organizers will also set up entertainment stations featuring live music and performances along the route.

The following streets will be closed on Sunday:

  • Pacific Avenue at Venice Boulevard from 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.
  • South Venice Boulevard from  6:45 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.
  • Ocean Avenue from  6:45 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.
  • Admiralty Way between 6:45 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

One year, long ago, Alice Coltrane performed. Anyone know the year? Definitely in the 70's.

Thank you, David, for your lucid and edifying dissertation on Passover. You just about said itRead More all...I would only add that if people get a chance during the holiday to view the movie version of Fiddler On The Roof they will get a truly inspiring feeling for what it meant - and means - to be Jewish.
