RUN HARD ROCK CAFE 5K
On November 8th RUN HARD ROCK CAFE 5K shuts down Hollywood Blvd to benefit local charity My Friend's Place
Hard Rock Cafe is shutting down Hollywood Boulevard for the second year in a row for its family friendly Run Hard Rock Cafe 5K ( www.runhardrockcafe.com) to benefit My Friend’s Place ( www.myfriendsplace.org) . Registration is now underway for the race which will take place on Saturday, November 8, giving runners, walkers and rockers alike the chance to run alongside the imprints of legends down the famous Hollywood Boulevard while simultaneously giving back to the local community via My Friend’s Place.
Once again, Hard Rock Cafe is partnering with Jive Live entertainment, Los Angeles’ premier authority on race production, to produce the USA Track & Field (USATF) Certified Course race. The inaugural race sold out with more than 2,400 runners on the 3.1 mile flat course and organizers anticipate strong demand this year as well. Run Hard Rock Cafe is the only 5K race to shut down the world-renowned Hollywood Boulevard, offering locals and tourists an opportunity pass by iconic Hollywood locations such as the TCL Chinese Theater, El Capitan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Capitol Records, W Hollywood, and the Pantages Theater undisturbed by motorized vehicles.
Proceeds from every registration fee will benefit My Friend’s Place, a local nonprofit, which is dedicated to assisting and inspiring homeless youth to build self-sufficient lives. My Friend’s Place is a privately funded organization that serves 1500 of the homeless youth in Los Angeles. Their headquarters on the race course make their location and Hollywood community affiliation an important part of Run Hard Rock Cafe 5K.
