USATF will not have a 2025 edition of the LA Grand Prix at USATF.
Instead, they just announced they’ll work w/ Sound Running and combine their efforts around Track Fest on May 24th at Occidental College. It will be a World Athletics silver label event featuring races from the 800m to the 10,000m.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Off to Orange County, CA for #TheTen. This year’s version will be unlike any before it. We’re looking to be at CAPACITY at J Serra. The racing will be electric, but the fan engagement will be at an all time high. Partnering with HOKA and Spike will take it to the next level!

I’ve said this a million times to runners at expos. The feeling of a new shoe can be a boost!
For those who abide by the "nothing new on race day" rule, Biya Simbassa put less than two miles on the shoes he wore at the Valencia Marathon before racing in them – and they were a half size bigger than his regular running shoes.

Really interested to see where Ben Rosario ends up. What a quality run at a true grassroots effort that was great for the sport. He’s reportedly headed into the Events space. I like that someone with his resumé is coming to the events side! Thoughts?
