W2 Promotions was founded in 1980 by marathon runner Walt Walston, to provide running event management services to non-profit organizations and corporations. 

With our  unique background and experience, W2 Promotions is specifically designed to help its clients raise awareness and funds for their organizations by organizing 5K & 10K runs and walks, marathons, triathlons, dog runs and family fun runs.

W2 Promotions has put on running events throughout the greater Southern California area in venues as diverse as the Universal Studios backlot, the Palos Verdes peninsula, the Los Angeles Zoo, and downtown Los Angeles.  

The L.A. Leggers, The San Pedro and Peninsula YMCA, and Music Matters are just a few of the non-profit organizations that have benefitted from W2 Promotions' expertise.  

All W2 Promotions events are USA Track & Field certified and 
W2 Promotions works with the top rated race results companies (like PrimeTime) to ensure that your event is professional and successful.
