Question: What do you get when you combine 2 Honda Accord EX-L V6 sedans, 10 forklifts, 30 tents, 35 garden hoses, 578 portable toilets, 1,040 trash boxes, 5,000 volunteers, 14,400 bananas, $220,000, and 1,146,000 disposable cups?

Answer: The LA Marathon, of course!

As you can see, it takes a lot of people and resources to support a 26.2-mile race on city streets, including great companies like PureFit Nutrition. If you’re running in Monday’s 24th edition of the LA Marathon, be sure to stop by and see us in booth # 1138 during packet pickup, which takes place alongside the massive Run/Ex/09 Exposition at the Los Angeles Convention Center on both Saturday and Sunday.

Admission to Run/Ex/09 is free and open to the public, so even you are not running in this year’s race, you can still benefit from meeting Team PureFit in person. Stop by our booth (# 1138) for samples of the award-winning line of PureFit Nutrition Bars, great deals on our products, or just to say hello.

Run/Ex/09 Expo times:

• Saturday, May 23: 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
• Sunday, May 24: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

The race itself is run on Monday, Memorial Day (May 25), and if you like watching road races but cannot make it out to watch in person, it’s your lucky day. Coverage of this year’s LA Marathon is considerably expanded, with the NBC4 television broadcast being streamed in its entirety by UniversalSports.com, and a first-ever, play-by-play radio broadcast that will air on TalkRadio KABC 790 AM. In addition, the Marathon itself will be providing live race tracking and provide a live Twitter feed all during the race weekend.
