Los Angeles walks baker’s dozen for city’s first half-marathon devoted to bakeries

A sweet-toothed group of 50 embarked on seven-hour pastry crawl, where they fueled up at local bakeries

Irene Chang had spent the last week praying that it wouldn't rain.

On Saturday, the 25 year-old, born-and-bred Angeleno hosted Los Angeles's first-ever bakery half-marathon walk - which took place after the city had been experiencing uncharacteristically stormy weather the past several days. Luckily, with some positive manifestation, Chang woke up on Saturday morning to crisp, clear skies and felt immediate relief.
