To celebrate this year’s Festa della Repubblica, the Consulate General of Italy, along with the Little Italy of Los Angeles Association (LILAA), has organized the Italy Run LA, a 5K race taking place Sunday 5th of June at 8 a.m. close to the ocean, in charming San Pedro. “Italians and Italian-Americans are an integral part of what makes Los Angeles a hub of Italian culture and heritage,” Italian Consul Silvia Chiave says.

“Italy Run LA is a family-friendly race open to participants of all ages and abilities, including runners, walkers, and strollers. Everybody will be able to experience an iconic tour through San Pedro, set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, as you run through the beautiful streets of Los Angeles Harbor.”
