Safety First: Race Postponed Due to Fires and Air Quality
New Date: February 15, 2025
Subject: Important Update: Race Postponement Due to Fires
We hope this message finds you safe and well. Unfortunately, our next two Santa Monica events will be postponed to Saturday, February 15th, 2025. The nearby Palisades Fire is currently at 22% containment, and after consulting with the city, we’re optimistic that we’ll be able to safely host the race in Santa Monica or nearby Marina Del Rey/Venice by mid-February.
Our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy. Honestly, it feels difficult to even discuss races amidst such challenges, but we want to address your concerns and provide options moving forward:
Move your race to the new date of 2/15/25.
Run virtually – we’ll mail your bib and medal directly to you.
Transfer to any upcoming CaliFlow event – we currently have 63 events listed to choose from.
Donate your registration to the American Red Cross. We will include your contribution in a bulk donation to support those in need.
We understand that many rely on races as a form of therapy and stress relief during difficult times. If you're looking to stay active, we’re happy to share that our Long Beach race this Sunday is proceeding as planned, with improved air quality in the area. We’re also excited about our 2/9/25 Long Beach race, and you’re welcome to join us for either event.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. We’re committed to supporting our community in every way possible.
With gratitude,
Angela Holder

Description
The Wolf Moon marks the first full moon of the year, symbolizing new beginnings, strength, and transformation. Named for the howling wolves in the deep winter nights, it’s a time to harness your inner power and set intentions for the year ahead. Running under the Wolf Moon (in the morning) encourages you to push through challenges, embrace personal growth, and connect with your goals for the new year. Let the energy of the moon inspire you to start fresh, run strong, and set the pace for the months to come.
