The members of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, Calif., may get to sleep in a bit on Sunday, thanks to the Los Angeles Marathon.

“Remember the Sabbath and keep it aerobic,” said the Rev. Mary E. Haddad, interim pastor, who informed the congregation there would be no morning service due to crowds and street closures, according to the Associated Press.
