Run for Recovery: Join the Together LA Wildfire Relief Run on March 1

In response to the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles County in January 2025, the Los Angeles Marathon has partnered with Strava to launch the Together LA Wildfire Relief Run. This virtual event, scheduled for Saturday, March 1, invites runners nationwide to support recovery efforts by logging miles on Strava and including “Together LA” in their activity titles. Strava has pledged a $20,000 donation to bolster the initiative.

Participants can further contribute by purchasing limited-edition Together LA merchandise, with all net proceeds directed to Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) and the California Fire Foundation. These organizations are at the forefront of providing emergency relief and recovery services to the affected communities.

This collaborative effort underscores the resilience and unity of the running community, aiming to make a tangible impact in the lives of those affected by the wildfires. 

For those unfamiliar, wildfires are uncontrolled fires that rapidly spread across vegetation, often exacerbated by dry conditions and strong winds. In regions like Los Angeles, these fires can cause significant destruction to homes and natural habitats, leading to substantial economic and environmental impacts.

Together, we run. Together, we rise. Together LA.
