Summer in Santa Monica goes out on September 13 the way it should, with 7,500 runners on the coast.

The Santa Monica Classic returns for its 21st running, and this year's race is officially sold out. Runners, joggers, walkers, and first-timers of all ages will take on a 10K, a 5K, and a kids' run along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Southern California.

Nearly half the field is running the Classic for the first time. Close to 300 are running with Team TMF, the McCourt Foundation's charity team, raising funds to help cure neurological diseases and build a healthier world. 

Produced by The McCourt Foundation, the Classic finishes with a post-race festival where runners, families, and spectators can celebrate together. Whether you're racing, cheering from the sidewalk, or just grabbing coffee nearby, it's a morning worth being downtown for, and one that supports a greater good.
