Every year, Eric Spears paces the 16-minute mile group at the @studentsrunla Friendship Run 30k. If students cross the finish line before him, they get to run the @asics @lamarathon. If they don't, their dreams of running from Dodger Stadium to Century City are dashed.

Thankfully, the runners have a secret weapon: Volunteers who step up to "Run Them In" the last three miles to ensure they #BeatEric. Congrats to those who qualified to run LA Marathon!! See you at Dodger Stadium!!

It's official! 🏁

I'm an @lamarathon ambassador for 2026 🙌

You might have seen me running around a @socaltrail race with a camera and a smile.
.
Allow me to introduce myself: My name's Jonathan, but some people call me J6. I'm a father, a husband, marathoner and trail runner.
.
This year, I've added a new title: Manager of the SoCalTrail Tour of LA, a series of five free, inclusive community trail runs events aimed at growing the sport of trail running.
.
Last year's Tour was such a resounding success that runners keep asking me when the Tour will be back. The answer: May 4!
.
We've been hard at work trying to make this year's Tour better than ever, with new snacks and beverages, more raffle prizes and a growing team of experienced Run Leaders!
.
Mark your calendars for the return of the Tour of LA, and stay tuned for the full schedule release by @socaltrail. Hope to see you all out there ✌️

Trails > Roads

Thanks to @runwithramp and @cjrc_sherman_oaks for the morning trail miles at Top of Reseda! Special shoutout to @dylankylebrown for the @salomon shoe demo! Shoes felt great, especially on the downhill singletrack segment!

Tacos DURING @valleyrunnersla run club.

It surprised it took this long to finally do this. Been wanting to stop mid-run for a street vendor taco for forever.

Thanks to @_thatbenji for running ahead to order and hook up the tacos with all the essentials. Next time, less salsa. And maybe a few napkins 🤣

That one time I won my age group at a @socaltrail race 🥲

I don't put too much pressure on time, performance or results, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super proud of taking the top spot in my Age Group at Singletrack Stampede this past weekend. My goal isn't to "win" anything. It's never been about being the fastest. I just enjoy being out there with the community, taking in the awe inspiring views and crushing the epic routes that we trail runners love. But to be able to step up to the top spot of the podium felt super cool. I savored it because it's likely my last. 🤣

So here's some @mrodmaker photos from that ONE time I was atop the podium 🙌

Running and gunning for @socaltrail 🎥

Had a blast running Chesebro Trailhead for the first time. Surprisingly placed 5th overall and 1st in Age Group in the 10k. Just happy to toe the startline since I've mostly been working the finish line festival to capture social media content.

I'm a @tanrioutdoors Sunchaser!!

Thanks to Tanri for choosing me as a 2026 ambassador for the best sunscreen and lotion and chapstick and active wipes around!!

As an active person with constant exposure to the sun's harmful rays, skin protection is top priority. Whether you're on the trails or roads, on land or in the water, Tanri's got you covered 🤝

The @socaltrail Finish Line Festival is unmatched.

Meet Jonathan, Malibu Moves Ambassador 🌊⁠
⁠
Jonathan started running solo during COVID, then joined local run clubs and never looked back. Running was important, but it was the community that drew him in.⁠
⁠
"Such a wide range of runners, full of life and energy, all on a mission to better themselves. I've surrounded myself with those people and that energy, and my life has never been better."⁠
⁠
He manages social media for @SoCalTrail and coordinates the Tour of LA community trail runs. He knows how to build a running community from the inside out.⁠
⁠
His race day tip: arrive early. The only running you should do that morning is from the start line to the finish.⁠
⁠
Jonathan is running the Half Marathon at Zuma Beach this October.⁠
