Run-N-Ride Relays builds on Los Angeles’ culture of movement and connection. The route of the pilot relay follows the Metro B Line, spanning 18 miles from North Hollywood Station to Union Station. The course is divided into six legs, with runners handing off a baton at Metro stations along the way. By leveraging Metro as the support system, the relay demonstrates in real-time how the region’s expanding transit network connects communities while reducing the need for heavy reliance on personal vehicles.

In partnering with the Global Youth Coalition and the Green Sports Alliance Foundation to develop the Run-N-Ride Relays, Wagul continues implementing our mission by pushing for the advancement of Metro’s “Transit First” mission at a moment when the world’s eyes will be on Los Angeles. The relay highlights Metro’s accessibility, reliability, and environmental value while directly addressing the city’s reputation for traffic congestion. Reduced vehicle use translates into lower emissions and greater equity in mobility. 

This event marks the beginning of a larger vision. Run-N-Ride Relays is designed to expand into a series that highlights venue-to-venue transport, paving the way for major events like LA28. The result is a scalable, repeatable model of sustainable events that celebrate both community and green infrastructure. While piloting in Los Angeles, expansion to other cities is expected.
