About the 310K Run/walk powered by Leslie Cohen Law
The course starts at the Santa Monica Pier and heads down to the beach path before climbing back up the California Incline, a real hill that gives the route its character. It is a road race, and the stretch along the water is open and exposed, with ocean views in both directions before the incline pulls you back up toward the bluff.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at a local running shop on Main Street, where you can also get a discount on in-store purchases. Parking near the pier can be tricky; the paid lot at Tongva Park is the safer bet, since street sweeping happens daily and the signs require attention.

The 310K Run/walk powered by Leslie Cohen Law has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
