RPV's Run for Myles

why we do it

Honoring His Legacy

At Run For Myles, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are fueled by an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the love and support we have received since the passing of Myles Helm. This event serves as a tribute to his remarkable life and an opportunity to give back to the community he held dear.

Myles Helm was an extraordinary individual who completed countless races, including two Ironman World Championships and over 60 marathons. Among all his achievements, the 20 marathons he ran in Palos Verdes held a special place in his heart. Fulfilling his dream of making Palos Verdes his home, Myles found immense joy in this city. Preserving its breathtaking beauty became a cause close to his heart.

On Saturday, November 15th, 2025, we invite you to join us for Run For Myles. Lace up your shoes and embark on a memorable 5k or 10k run/walk, set against the backdrop of the beauty of Rancho Palos Verdes. As you traverse the scenic road course, you’ll pass iconic landmarks like the Point Vicente Lighthouse and Terranea Resort.

Proceeds from this year’s event will contribute to the preservation of the parks and trails of Rancho Palos Verdes.
