Overview

Celebrate Labor Day with a mission-driven run set for Saturday, August 30, 2025, in scenic Palisades Park, Santa Monica. Organized by The Best Races / A Better World Running, this event honors the spirit of workers and invites participants of all ages and paces to lace up and unite in a community run—with a capped, small-field, supported approach.

With start waves at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM, registrants can choose based on pace. The format supports both in-person and virtual participation, and while chip timing isn’t used, coordinators offer optional hand-timing and runners can submit app-based results .

All participants receive direct-to-door swag: a premium running shirt, finisher’s medal or custom mug, e-certificate, and a training guide. A portion of proceeds supports charity initiatives, with post-race miles fueling additional donations.

The course loops through Palisades Park area—scenic, paved, community-centric, and capped at approximately 15–20 runners per wave to ensure personal support. A family-friendly Mile Fun Run is included for all ages.

Why It Stands Out

  • Ultra-personal experience with capped wave sizes and coordinator support
  • Stress-free timing options, including hand-timing and app submission
  • Purpose-driven event, connecting community miles to charitable contributions
  • Direct-to-door swag, avoiding packet-pickup hassle
  • Family-inclusive options, with both full-distance and one-mile waves
