Santa Monica 5000 Results

Wow, Franklin Elementary really showed up for this race! Not only did we have a record 98 registrants from Franklin but we exceeded our goal amount for funds raised for Franklin PE. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Santa Monica 5000 from the runners and contributors to the sign holders.

A special shout out to our Franklin 5th graders who dominated the 5K:
Girls 5K: Harper Hollander (3rd place), Olivia Hume (4th place)
Boys 5K: Bryce Benun (1st place), Ryan Lee (2nd place), Kole Lee (3rd place)

Franklin PTA would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to Sue Benun, Katy Henrikson, Run Reps Ryan Robinett, Luba Rosenblum, Kim Jaffe, and the Room Parents for organizing our Franklin SM5000 Team and raising over $1000 toward Franklin PE. Yay! Go Franklin!

Show you Franklin Pride on race day by sporting one of your Franklin shirts

Information for Registered Runners:

Packet Pick-up (packets include race bibs, race chips & t-shirts).

There is a mandatory packet pick-up on Friday, October 5 (3pm to 7pm) and Saturday, October 6 (11am to 4pm) at Olympic High School.  This means that participants cannot pick up their packets on race morning.  You don’t have to wear the race T-shirt — instead, wear a shirt that says FRANKLIN!

Designated Meeting Area at Start

The Ed Foundation designated an area at the start of the race for teams and schools to meet up before the race.  We will have signs made for each team and school — look for the Franklin sign.  (If you can be the sign-holder for your race, you can pick up the sign at the Volunteer Check-in at the start.  Please email Katy at katy.henrikson@gmail.com if you’re able to do this).

Bag Drop

You can leave your items (keys, etc.) at a bag drop located at the start of the race and pick up your things at the finish line.

The Cool Down (post-race event)

Come join us on the Santa Monica Pier after the race to celebrate!  You will have the opportunity to check out the latest running gear and other vendors, eat great food, and be entertained.  We’re excited to announce that the Santa Monica High School Jazz Combo will be performing!  And don’t forget to stop by the Education Foundation’s booth.  The Cool Down hours are 8:30am to 12pm.

Parking

There are some public parking lots near the race start along Barnard Way.  Start driving south on Barnard Way just below Pico Blvd – you’ll find the first parking lot there.  The second lot is further down Barnard Way, just south of Ocean Park Blvd.  PLEASE NOTE:  It will be busy all around the race, so please arrive before 7am if you want to park in a lot near the start.  Another option is to have someone drop you off near the race.  Parking attendants will be in the lots.

There is also parking by the finish area, which is just north of Santa Monica Pier at the intersection of Ocean Ave. and Broadway, if you’d rather park there and walk down to the race start.  Parking is available on 2nd Street just east of the finish and also in the lot beneath the Pier.  Again, plan to park before 7am.
