Pasadena Marathon Cancelled

Event Organizers Cancel Race Due To Poor Air Quality

We regret to inform you that we have been compelled to cancel today's Kaiser Permanente Pasadena Marathon as a result of the significant wildfires in the Los Angeles area and resulting unsafe air quality.  Pasadena Forward's decision was made in consultation with the Kaiser Permanente Medical Team and the City of Pasadena.   Please know that it was extremely difficult to arrive at this decision, and we know that this is a disappointing outcome for all of us who have worked so hard for this inaugural event.  However, the only appropriate response to this emergent situation, given that the safety and well-being of our participants is  at the forefront of our concerns, was to cancel. Over the next several days, we will hold discussions to determine appropriate next steps.  Once concrete plans have been developed, updates will be posted at www.pasadenamarathon.org.  All registered participants will also be notified via email of all important updates.   Thank you for your support and patience as we work through this challenge.  We hope you are safe and well. Israel Estrada Executive Director, Pasadena Forward

Total bummer...I was looking forward to it. Maybe they will reschedule it.... But I have to say I was glad they canceled it. The air was so bad yesterday, I didn't do anything!
Happy Monday!
