  • Place your items in a large Ziploc bag and include your name and phone number, and give to Pacer Lupe or Pacer Nancy.
  • After the marathon, you can pick up your drop bag at the next club meet up.

  • If you signed up for the Pacer Shuttle through Pasadena, please note, they will leave promptly at 4:45am. This is a one way trip to the start line only.
  • If you are getting dropped off, you must enter through the Golden State Gate, accessible via I-5. Use the LEFT lanes leading into the Golden State Gate and proceed to the Runner Drop-Off Area in Parking Lot 4. (Use 2000 Academy Rd, Los Angeles, CA for your GPS for drop-offs and parking)

WHERE DO WE MEET?

  • Try to arrive between 5:30am – 6:00am. Meet near the race Gear Check (see map):

CELEBRATE!!

  • LA MARATHON PARTY/VICTORY PARTY: March 14, 2020 is the day we will celebrate each Pacer that completed the LA Marathon, including those in other groups that have accomplished their distances and crushed their goals as well. Get your tickets before they sell out!

Good Luck, Pacers! You’ve got this!
