Miracle Mile Run Takes Off

About 350 runners of all ages sprinted, jogged and toddled down Wilshire Boulevard this morning at the second annual Miracle Mile Grand Prix Run. The event began with a 5K race. Next came a one-mile fun run, which was followed by a kids' sprint in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
"I told the late great Councilmember John Ferraro in 1984 that I'd create a one-mile Miracle Mile run and it's great to see it happening," said Councilmember LaBonge, who co-sponsored the race and made the starting call.
The race was one event in the weekend-long TarFest film, art and music festival. For more information on TarFest, click here.
