Kourtney Turner Inspired By Bigger Purpose When Running Los Angeles Marathon To Benefit Justin Turner Foundation

Championed as the driving force behind the Justin Turner Foundation, Kourtney Turner is again pushing herself through the challenge of running the Los Angeles Marathon. She ran the half marathon in 2018 and will complete the full 26-mile trek from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica for a second consecutive year.

“It kind of happened by accident,” Kourtney told DodgerBlue.com of becoming a regular marathon runner.

“We were asked to become an official charity of the L.A. Marathon in 2018. We were thrilled to partner with the L.A. Marathon to help raise money for the causes near and dear to our hearts, but I just never thought I could run the actual marathon.
