Running: The 3rd Annual Operation Jack Marathon will be held Wednesday, Dec. 26. The full and half marathon both start and end at Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey. In 2010, Sam Felsenfeld ran 61 marathons for his son Jack, who has Autism. Sam worked with local runners and volunteers to produce a marathon, his 61st race that year, and since that time the event has grown to include hundreds of athletes fighting for the same cause. In two short years, these athletes have raised more than $55,000 for Autism charities. The Operation Jack Foundation and Train 4 Autism are working to support families affected by this neurological disorder. For more information, visit operationjack.org/marathon.
