Inaugural Long Beach Charity 5K/10K Series is Formed
Local non-profits collaborate to recognize event participants
Three area non-profits have joined together to form the first annual Long Beach Charity 5K/10K Series. JFCS of Long Beach & West Orange County, Meals on Wheels of Long Beach, and U.S. Vets-Long Beach each have similar walking, running, and rolling events, and those who participate in all three events during 2019 will receive a special medal recognizing their accomplishment and their philanthropic contribution to make Long Beach and the surround area a better place for its residents. JFCS Race With A View 5K/10K walk/run will kick off the series on Sunday, May 5 in Downtown Long Beach, followed by U.S. VETS-Long Beach Storm the Beach 5K/10K on Saturday, June 15, held in the same location. Meals on Wheels of Long Beach 5K/10K will be held on Saturday, July 13 at Long Beach City College. Participants should register for each race, and the commemorative medals will be available for pick-up upon completing the Meals on Wheels event. There is no cost to participate in the series other than the registration fees for each event.
