Expo Area will be at the grassy knoll in front of the Par 3 golf course. Join us in the first annual Los Angeles River Fun Run presented by Councilman Tom LaBonge and A Runner’s Circle Running Shop – A 5 kilometer Fun-Run, where it will showcase the Los Angeles river bed! The route will take runners by the river, allowing them to experience it up close, and creating an awareness of LA’s hidden gem. All proceeds will go to the beautification and restoration of the river and the organizations that are actively participating in this cause. Please be advised that this is a non-competitive event. This 5k fun run/walk aims to raise funds to revitalize the Los Angeles River by making this a family event, and also to create a sense of awareness for the river in the neighboring communities. For such reasons, we are not implementing timing systems apart from a general race clock. Thank you for understanding. Registration & Bib Pick-up is going to be at A Runner’s Circle Running Shop on May 4, 5 & 6, 2012. The Run is $15.00 and all donations will proceed to the the LA River and its foundations that preserve her. LA River Fun Run
