race route. This is the fifth year the race will be run. The
following report outlines this request and recommends approval of
the race date and the alternate race route.
BACKGROUND
On May 17, 1983, the City Council approved Resolution 6688 (CCS)

These guidelines were established to benefit
the city and lessen the impact such events have on certain areas
of the City.

lOK

order if they meet other listed criteria:
1. city of Santa Monica sponsored races;
2. Santa Monica based non-profit groups;
3. Santa Monica based commercial interest with races of
national significance;

a 10K course on the north side of town, and Route C - the city
Marathon course. The City Council by motion, however, may

DISCUSSION
st. Monica's Church nas requested October 5, 1991, for their
fifth annual 5 and lOR race date. City staff has not experienced
any problems with this event over the last four (4) years.
While this date is within 41 days of the Santa Monica Marathon,
the st. Monica's route choice only duplicates a twelve block area
of the marathon. The area in question is Ocean Avenue from
Marguerita Avenue to Washington Avenue (5 blocks), and Washington
Avenue from Fourth street to Ninth street (7 blocks). Their
requested race route is as follows:
start on Washington Boulevard at Lincoln Boulevard proceeding
east on Washington Boulevard to sixteenth street, north on
sixteenth Street to Alta Avenue, east on Alta Avenue to
Twentieth street, north on Twentieth street to Margueri ta
Avenue, west on Marguerita Avenue to Ninth Street, south on
Ninth street to Wilshire Boulevard, west on Wilshire
Boulevard to Fifth street, south on Fifth street to Broadway,
west on Broadway to Ocean Avenue, north on Ocean Avenue (west
side of street) to Marguerita Avenue, east on Marguerita
Avenue to Fourth street, south on Fourth street to Washington
Avenue, and east on Washington Avenue to the finish (between
Seventh Street and Lincoln Boulevard).
The Police Department estimates their costs to be approximately
$5,600.

BUDGETARY/FINANCIAL IMPACT
