Run 3.10 in the 310 - November 23rd, 2025 at 8 a.m.!
Leslie Cohen Law PC is excited to bring back our annual 5k fundraiser for 2025! Join us on Sunday, November 23rd at 8 a.m. at Tongva Park, just south of Colorado Ave. between Ocean Ave. and Main Street in beautiful Santa Monica. See route below.
Race proceeds will be donated to Public Counsel Debtor Assistance Project (DAP), which provides pro-bono law assistance to disadvantaged communities, as well as a Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), a bike and pedestrian safety organization. In addition to proceeds from race registration, we are also accepting donations to support both organizations' work. We hope you'll join us for this year's event!
Virtual 310K
For those unable to attend in person, a virtual race option is also available! To participate in the virtual 5k, after registering, you can run or walk a 5k distance on your own time with a 5k route of your choosing.
Use a run-tracking app to record your time and distance, and submit your results at our registration link. Virtual race participants will also receive race shirts and finisher medals.
Virtual participants will have a two-week window to complete and submit their virtual run—note that this is the two-week period before the in-person event. The cutoff to submit virtual results is midnight PST on November 23rd.
