5K RUN
WHY
ItalyRunLA
Celebrate this year’s Festa della Repubblica by connecting back to your Italian roots and showing your Italian pride through the Italy Run LA. Italians and Italian-Americans are an integral part of what makes Los Angeles the hub of Italian culture and heritage. Join the Little Italy of Los Angeles Association (LILAA) in filling the streets of San Pedro with Green, White and Red on June 4th, 2023.
Italy Run LA is a family-friendly race open to participants of all ages and abilities, including runners, walkers, and strollers. Experience an iconic tour of San Pedro as you run through the beautiful streets of our Los Angeles Harbor set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
All participants will receive a race shirt, finisher’s medal, post-race refreshments and a truly unforgettable race experience.
The
vision
Throughout the last few years, the Little Italy of Los Angeles Association has spearheaded initiatives to promote the Italian values of inclusion, tradition, history, culture and innovation.
Like last year, all the attendees and their family, friends and loved ones are invited to stay at our post- run "Festa in Piazza" featuring authentic Italian food vendors, music and so much more.

location
Located at the southern point of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, between Manhattan Beach and Long Beach, San Pedro is home to the busiest port in the country: the Port of Los Angeles. Also known as America’s Port, this gateway is much more than a transportation hub. It is one of the most historic and picturesque regions in Los Angeles. San Pedro is a rare balance of small-town charm, cultural attractions, and family friendly activities in the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Come enjoy a slower pace of life that is good for the soul.
