SRLA needs volunteers to help plan and execute several events throughout the season. Volunteer opportunities for all events include, but may not be limited to, registration/check-in, water stations, finish line support and refreshment/T-shirt distribution.  Volunteers may participate once or on a continuous basis, and may become as involved as they choose by helping out with preparations and planning for events or simply showing up to help the day of the event.  We are now recruiting volunteers to support SRLA at the following events:

Running Faire           
Saturday or Sunday in September
This is our annual kick-off event for the season. This year’s event will include a short-course race, T-shirt giveaway and an introduction to the program to interested students who have signed up through their school or community group.

Learning for Life (not an SRLA sponsored event)
Saturday in November
This is our annual 15K run.  SRLA has participated for the past four years and will do so again this year as we increase our mileage and set our sights on the LA Marathon.  This year SRLA will be working to support this event by assisting with recruiting race volunteers for positions such as food and t-shirt distribution and to man water stations.

Friendship Run
First Sunday in February
This is an 18-mile race twice around Hansen Dam that is open to the public and sponsored by SRLA. It is also our most crucial training run for the Los Angeles Marathon.

Los Angeles Marathon
First Sunday in March
This is the premiere event of the Students Run L.A. season!  Be a part of the magic when the students cross the finish line after 26.2 miles!
