With 30,000 patient visits each year, Saint John’s 24-hour Emergency Department provides life saving services to our community each and every day. In addition to providing comprehensive emergency care, the Saint John’s Emergency Department features a Fast Track program for life’s minor bumps and bruises – Faster In, Faster Out!

Saint John’s is rebuilding its entire Health Campus. Your participation in the Saint John’s Santa Monica 5000 will help Saint John’s complete the Fast Track area in the new Emergency Department – so we can be here for you when you need us most.

The Course
Can you say flat & fast with some fun too? This course was just recently opened by the Santa Monica City Council so everyone is going to set a personal record. The start is at the beach in Ocean Park. Runners head south on Barnard Way and curve onto Main St. and head north to Colorado Ave. Runners then head west to Ocean Ave. At this point the runners turn north for some of most scenic views of Santa Monica and the beaches. The 5k turns around at California before turning around for a gradual decent to the finish which is just before the Santa Monica Pier (which will host the Post Event Expo and Party). The 10k goes up to San Vicente an turns around at 7th St. Yes, the course is USATF sanctioned and certified. There will also be water/Gatorade stations at the Start, Finish and along both courses
