In this unique global running and wheelchair event, participants in 35 locations around the world will all start running at the exact same time in a race for spinal-cord injury research. This event is unique because participants will be racing against the Catcher Car, an innovative moving finish line that pursues runners from behind. The race does not end until the last runner on Earth is caught by the car, and the last man and woman caught are named Global Champions. Last year’s man and woman champions ran 46.4 and 32.35 miles, respectively. Runners will be participating during the day, night, spring, and autumn, depending on the location of the run. This run is sponsored by Wings for Life, a not-for-profit spinal-cord research foundation. Spiral-cord injury can lead to many problems, including chronic pain, bladder dysfunction and temperature regulation. One hundred percent of your entry fee will go to life-changing research project and all administrative costs are kindly covered by the Red Bull company.

One of the most unusual walking events in Southern California occurs in Los Angeles over the first weekend in May. The Big Parade is a two-day trek that involves more than 80 staircases across 40 miles through many L.A. neighborhoods. 2014’s walk started in Grand Park in downtown and meandered all the way up to Griffith Observatory, and will take the same route this year. The route and timetable are easy to pick up and catch up, and you can start at the beginning or join along the way.

With a place like Redbird, Neal and Amy Knoll Fraser’s new restaurant in the old cathedral rectory at downtown’s historic Vibiana, the message behind the old adage “Good things come to those who wait” is more meaningful than ever. For one, Redbird is an absolute stunner, with a design so sleek and naturally fitting to the space, it couldn’t possibly have happened overnight. Second, although the Frasers never really left the L.A. dining scene, it is a return of sorts for the famous culinary couple. Redbird feels like one big, grand gesture bringing it all together.
For years, the Frasers talked about this restaurant. First they were rumored to be planning a relocation of Grace, their beloved fine-dining Beverly Boulevard spot that closed in 2010. They took over catering for the Vibiana events space in 2012, but the timing wasn’t right for their own restaurant.
The two continued to run their popular bistro, BLD, and other projects came about (Fraser’s gourmet hot dog stand, Fritzi Dog, for one), while the pieces for Redbird started falling into place. However, it wasn’t until they partnered with acclaimed restaurateur Bill Chait in 2010 that they were able to really soar.
