Celebrate our Race Grand Marshals!

Honorary Community Hero Grand Marshal – Rabbi Aimee Irshay Gerace
Rabbi Aimee Irshay Gerace devoted her career to serving the Jewish community and has set in motion a remarkable legacy with the tremendous force of her words, actions, laughter, wisdom, and grace. Aimee most recently served as the Education Director at Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center from 2017 until her passing from breast cancer in October 2023. It’s not actually possible to know or measure her impact, because it’s just getting started and will continue for generations through her family, her friends, her students, her colleagues, the communities she built, and her beautiful and brilliant children.

Run or walk on this fully paved course at Dockweiler Beach, just steps from the ocean with a cool morning breeze and incredible coastal views. Finish strong and join us at the post-race festival with food, refreshments, entertainment and more.
