In response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County, The McCourt Foundation, operators of the Los Angeles Marathon, has launched Together LA, an impactful initiative uniting the running community to provide critical financial assistance to those directly impacted by the wildfires.

Here's how we're making an impact:

• Donating Essential Supplies: We've delivered water, electrolytes, and other necessities to those in need.
• Food Drives: Hosted food drives at our Los Angeles Road Runners Meet-Up locations.
• Fundraising and Donating Critical Funds to those directly impacted through our Together LA initiative.
• Planning Long-Term Support: The 2025 Los Angeles Marathon and Rose Bowl Half Marathon will feature initiatives to unite our community, raise funds, and provide ongoing aid to wildfire recovery efforts.

Together LA is an initiative that offers a way to come together and provide critical financial assistance to those directly impacted by the wildfires and our first responders. Direct donations will be made to: Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) and California Fire Foundation (supporting LA and Pasadena).
