Thousands of participants gathered outside Dodger Stadium on Saturday morning for the LA 5K race.
The race began live on the morning news of the KTLA 5th weekend, with Wendy Burch stationed at the starting line just after 8am to catch the start of the race and of course armed with KTLA cowbells.
She interviewed both runners and spectators who support their nearness and precious causes, such as Cedars Sinai and the Catholic Education Foundation.
“We have about 130 runners running for our foundation today,” one woman representing the Crowd Catholic Education Foundation said before being suspended before the start of the race.
