Pace Setter

An antique Culver City police car will pace the Screenland 5K, earning funds for the local police officers' association for each block it goes. "It's a gamble," said retired Culver City Building Maintenance Supervisor Steve Newton, who rebuilt the 1930s-era Model A crime fighter 20 years ago.

Can Mayor Retake Crown?

Outgoing Mayor Dan O'Brien, the 2025 Screenland 5K Grand Marshal, will attempt to regain his first-ever divisional title in 2024 after missing last year's race while recovering from a leg injury. His 2024 victory was even more noteworthy because he had to remove his stage costume from the race's opening act and jump into the event after the starting gun sounded.
