Lakewood Run

Save the date for Saturday, March 5, 2016

The Lakewood Run returns on Saturday, March 5, 2016 when Sheriff’s deputies, recreational runners, families and kids will gather at the starting line in front of the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station to run the event’s 5K/10K course for time, or do the 1K “Fun Run” or a 5K walk.

Lakewood’s tree-lined residential streets provide the backdrop. The flat, “runner friendly” course is “fast” for practiced runners and comfortable for fitness fans and family members.

All participants are directly supporting Soroptimist International of Lakewood/Long Beach and Lakewood Sheriff’s Station charity efforts while they pursue their personal best in the 5K/10K for time, or run or walk for fun in this family-friendly event.

Professional timing will be used and online registration will begin this fall. Early registration will be $35 and $40 for those who register on race day. On the day of the event, registration begins at 6:30 a.m. The 5K and 10K runs start at 8:00 a.m. The Fun Run begins at 9:30 a.m.

In celebration of our 25th anniversary finisher medals will be awarded to all participants for the 5k/10k. Performance tech shirts which is also a new highlight of the race will be given to all runners.
