Here's a Sunday morning plan that gets you outside and gets you ready for November. The Witch Way to the Polls Walkathon lands in Griffith Park on October 11, and it's one of the friendlier Things Happening In Los Angeles this fall: a walk or run in support of voting rights, wrapped in a Halloween theme.
The event is listed by Discover Los Angeles under the League of Women Voters, and the pitch is simple. "Walk, Run or Fly" is the tagline. You register, pick whether you're walking or running, and head out on the course. Nobody's asking for a race time. Costumes fit the spirit, and a witch hat seems like the obvious call given the name.
After the walk
The part that sets this apart from a standard charity walk is the Voter Election Resource Fair that runs alongside it. Community booths line up with nonpartisan voter information, so you can check your registration, figure out how and where you'll vote, and talk to civic groups working on the ground in LA. None of it tells you who to vote for.
Kids are well covered. There's music, face painting, games and candy, which means a young family can treat the morning as an early Halloween outing and pick up something useful on the way out. It's a good one to bookmark if you're hunting for things to do in Los Angeles that work for every age.

Crystal Springs Drive runs along the park's eastern edge near the 5 freeway. Weekend mornings bring plenty of hikers and families to that side of the park, so give yourself time to park. Bring water and layers: October mornings in the park often start cool before the sun burns through.
Once the fair winds down, you're already in the city's biggest park, so a hike or a picnic on the lawn makes an easy second act. See more outdoor events and more ideas around Los Angeles.
