It happens every Sunday afternoon.
Almost 50 runners and walkers meet at Culver City High School.
For an hour, starting at 4 o’clock, they work with professional triathlete Kirsten Bell, New York Marathon champion Rod Dixon, Culver City Running Club leaders, guest instructors and a massage therapist.
Together, they are training for the Academy Awards Sunday event, Feb. 26, 9 a.m., sponsored by the City of Culver City.
Youngsters perform stretching and balancing exercises with Culver City High School cross country athletes while adults run, jog and walk around the Centaur track during free training session for the Culver City Centennial Screenland 5k.
The children are participating in Dixon’s free Kids Marathon program where “Finishing is winning and winning is finishing.”
