• Benny Blanco Ran A Half Marathon With No Training (marathonhandbook.com) — A recent Venice Beach Half Marathon video from producer Benny Blanco is drawing attention, but the race itself has a local angle: its first edition raised over $10,000 for school booster clubs in Venice, Mar Vista and Marina del Rey. With registration already open for the May 16, 2027 race, organizers hope to keep growing both participation and community support.
