The Miracle Mile Grand Prix is being held on September 27th as part of Tarfest ‘09 in Los Angeles.

What is Tarfest?

TarFest is the premiere arts and culture event of the Miracle Mile District, produced by the Miracle Mile Players, September 25th – 27th, 2009. This three-day event turns the one-mile historic stretch of Wilshire Boulevard into a site of cultural dynamism and energy. Dozens of the nation’s finest emerging artists, performers, and cultural innovators come together to showcase their talents and ideas at historic and notable venues on the historic Miracle Mile (Wilshire Blvd. Between Sycamore Ave. and Fairfax Ave.) Annually, over 150 artists and performers display their talents for over 5,000 diverse Angelenos of all ages.

Included in the festivities are the Miracle Mile Grand Prix 5k and 1 mile runs. Proceeds to benefit LACMA Arts for NexGen, LAPD Wilshire Division Explorers & Fairfax High School Arts and Athletic programs. Looks like this is a great opportunity for an off season race or a fun run with the kids. Registration is open to runners and walkers of all ages.
