Parking and travel
Organizers suggest the Metro, which stops at Grand Park. Drivers should come in from the 101, not from the south, because of road closures. Nearby lots charge $10 to $15 and fill by about 7:30 a.m.; city meters are free on the holiday.
Shirt and medal
Every finisher gets a cotton race shirt and a medal, and this year all participants also receive a canvas backpack from the presenting sponsor.
The cause
The race supports The Midnight Mission, a downtown group that helps people experiencing homelessness, and runners can fundraise for it when they register.
