  • 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 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?
