More than 11,500 participants hit local streets for the event, seen as a precursor to the Los Angeles Marathon, which returns to the Southland in March.
Along the runners’ path were Pasadena’s scenic landmarks, from the Colorado Street Bridge, Old Town Pasadena, Caltech and others. All that, and the finish line: through the tunnel to the 100-year-old Rose Bowl stadium’s fabled field.
“It was gorgeous,” said Curcuru in a statement. “The weather was really good. I was worried that it was going to rain, but it was great. I loved going up under the bridge the first couple of miles. It was a big climb but the views made it more comfortable.”The men’s half-marathon finish was extremely close. Jonathan Martin, a 27-year-old from North Carolina, was first across the finish line, at 1:12:11, a 5:31 per-mile pace.
There was also the massive gathering of 3,200 runners from Students Run LA, which empowers student runners both on the pavement, and iin the classroom. SRLA students also participated in a community service project buoying the Ronald McDonald House of Pasadena, donating paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, diapers and feminine hygiene products for the center, which bills itself as a “a home-away-from-home for families with critically-ill children.”Organizers noted that actor Matt Jones and comedian Erik Riviera finished the 13.1-mile half-marathon.
