LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA — The Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge is seeking volunteers for its 33rd annual Thanksgiving Day Run and Food Drive, featuring a 5K and Kids' Mile starting at Olberz Park.
Volunteers can help with race bib and T-shirt pickup, event setup and cleanup, water stations, race-day registration and the food drive collection table, event organizers said. Other opportunities include distributing Kids' Mile medals.
The 5K begins at 8:15 a.m., followed by the Kids' Mile at 9:30 a.m. Both races at Olberz Park, 4469 Chevy Chase Drive, will be professionally timed, according to organizers.
Top finishers in each race will receive awards, and all Kids' Mile participants will receive a medal.
