What are others in SoCal doing with the cancellation of all races for pretty much a year now?

Washington state also has had no races.

There was an in-person 5k in Chino in December. It was more fun run-ish, you could start anytime between 7 and 8:30am, run the course, get a time. You wore a mask to the starting line and put it on right after the finish line (which wasn't real pleasant when you're trying to catch your breath). It was fun to be out there with other folks.

There's a half in Lake Havasu the last weekend of March. I'm considering it, though it doesn't really excite me right now.

I was going to go to the Arizona one if healthy but was injured. My sources tell me the LA marathon is optimistic they will have the race in May. Maybe that will be just enough time for enough people to get vaccinated combined with herd immunity from infections for the Dems to declare victory and let us go back to life.

Enjoying the freedom to run and train without constraints.

Washington has races. In a jamin thread there was a link to his results.

chino is in not call right? Too far to drive for a 5k. Maybe I'll sign up for lake havasu when the rose bowl half gets cancelled. Somebody has to be the first to hold a race but with may races cancelled I doubt it will be in pasadena in March.

races are happening. they are just underground.

If they are, they aren't happening anywhere near me. I follow anyone who is anyone here on strava. Its getting f'ing ridiculous. Schools closed for a year, the performing arts shut down and anyone in that industry has fled the state, is bankrupt, or homeless, no events. Lets have the beaches packed every weekend though so we can get those tax dollars. Restaurants are takeout only, unless they don't want to be, in which case no one does any more than say pretty please be good. If I want to race, I have to drive to f'ing phoenix or vegas, but can't make plans until a few days before because its a coin flip whether they let it go off or cancel it.

Team mates and a local workout group had a small 5k and 1/2 marathon event this morning. Small group (<50 people) races are getting organized and run regularly now.

Having a life is what I'm doing.

Before the Democrats imposed socialist control over the populace and ruined this most beautiful part of the country a runner in California could find a race on almost any weekend of the year to run.

Yes, their propagandist and evil ways are an attempt to subdue our freedoms and control our lives.

The ghost Ronald Reagan will reappear soon and help to bring about their swift downfall.
