🟣 Run-N-Ride Relays: D Line Extension Group Run! 🚇

​🟣🚇 Join Run-N-Ride Relays for a 9 mile run along Metro’s D Line! 🚇🟣

​

​🗓️ Date: Friday, May 8th

​⏰ Meet Time: 9 am

​🏃‍♀️ Start Time: 9:30 am

​📍 Meeting location: Union Station (Traxx Restaurant - pilot relay finish line)

​🗺️ (Max.) Distance: ~ 9-10 miles

​🏁 Endpoint: Wilshire / La Cienega

​

​The first phase of the D Line extension opens on Friday, May 8th, and we’ll be running the length of the line from Union Station to Wilshire / La Cienega. For those of you who want to join but feel that 9+ miles is too much, feel free to wait at one of the three checkpoints or reach out to coordinate another spot along the route.

​Checkpoints (unofficial): 

• ​Marie's Coffee & Deli (- 2 miles) 7th Street / Metro

• ​Metro Fresh (- 4.5 miles) Wilshire / Vermont 

• ​Document Coffee Bar (- 5.5 miles) Wilshire / Western

​Return Commute to Union: 720 Metro Bus Rapid Line to Wilshire/Western D Line

​The run will conclude at Wilshire / La Cienega. From conversations with Metro, there is a strong possibility that while the D Line will be open to VIPs, it won't be open to the public until later in the afternoon. I am working to coordinate an alternative activity for participants, but the commute back to the rail will likely involve a short connecting bus ride or an additional 4-mile run/cycle back (finish off that half!). You can also take the 720 the other direction to Santa Monica or go straight home from the end of the run for those who don't have to return to Union.
