The recent fires in and around Los Angeles have been devastating. The LA Marathon is an opportunity for community to come together in joy and hope and a spirit of togetherness. This March 15-16, End Child Poverty California powered by GRACE is coming together for the 2025 Los Angeles Marathon – full, half, and 5K races –to raise money and awareness to end child poverty in our state. Join us in community, wellness and joy!  

Join us as an LA Marathon 5k runner or walker, or donate to support the team!

We’re coming together in community, wellness, and joy to eliminate child poverty in our state! Join us in our mission to make a difference for our children!

The Los Angeles Marathon hosts a special 5K just for charity group participants. You’ll get to be part of the LA Marathon without needing to train for a full- or half-marathon.

We welcome experienced athletes and couch-to-5K enthusiasts. You can run, walk, jog, skip, frolic… up to you! 

You’ll be part of bringing together communities in action not only across our coalition, but across the city of Los Angeles. The weekend will be filled with movement, conversation, planning, training, and more. This is a moment to come together and share health and joy as parents, advocates, coalition members, children, and community leaders!

We are in need of 5K runners and walkers!

 As a 5K runner or walker, you commit to donating and/or fundraising at least $150 to support ECPCA & GRACE. If you cannot join us, please check out the fundraising links for all of our participants and donate to the End Child Poverty CA powered by GRACE Los Angeles Marathon Team. 

Make your steps this year count for a cause and help end child poverty! Support our runners by clicking the links below or register to run with us. We look forward to crossing the finish line together!
