Altadena to Palisades Ultra-Marathon: Rebuilding LA Through Running

Fundraiser for Fire Recovery

• 🎗️ The Silver Lake Track Club is hosting a 50K Ultra-Marathon relay from Altadena to the Palisades to support recovery efforts after the recent fires.
• 🎯 The event aims to raise $50,000 to keep the conversation going and support local relief and rebuilding efforts.

The "Marathon, Not a Sprint" Metaphor

• 🏃 The 31-mile relay is designed as a celebratory run rather than a race, emphasizing community connection and the long-term nature of recovery.
• 🤝 Participants can expect community celebrations at stops every 10K (about 6 miles) along the route.

Community and Conversation

• 💬 The fundraiser aims to bring the fires back to the forefront of community attention, as LA can be a busy city where important issues can be overlooked.
• 📍 The event highlights hyper-local support for devastated areas, ensuring people feel seen and continue to receive needed support.

The Power of Running Clubs

• 🌐 The Silver Lake Track Club, established three years ago, is one of over 150 run clubs in LA that strengthen local communities.
• 🤝 Running clubs bring diverse people together who might not otherwise connect, fostering a sense of shared experience and community.

How to Get Involved

• 💻 Individuals who cannot participate in the run can still get involved by donating online via the Silver Lake Track Club website.
• 📱 Information and donation links are also available on the club's Instagram page.
