St. John’s Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathon Is Sunday:

For the 24th time, St. John’s Hospital’s Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathon will be run in Griffith Park on Sunday, April 17.

One of the largest five-person relay marathons in the nation, it has over 20  categories for virtually every class of  runner – from small children to journalists.

More than 10,000 runners are expected to take part.

Actor Robert Wagner will once again serve as host for the event, which is a benefit for the Santa Monica hospital. Since the first race in 1982, at which the late Jimmy Stewart presided, it has raised over $8.5 million. 

There will live entertainment in the park, and health and fitness booths.

To register a team, call (310) 829-8968, or go to www.stjohns.org.
