Early Bird Deadline Nears for Live Well 5K

Participants in last year's Live Well 5KReady to join thousands of your fellow County employees and other San Diego residents in a fun, family-friendly event that raises money for a good cause?

After warming up with March of Dimes March for Babies and the NAMI Walk, you can lace up your shoes again and tackle the Live Well San Diego 5K on Saturday, May 30 at Naval Training Center, Liberty Station.

Registration is open for the event, but you should register now. Early bird prices expire on Thursday, April 30. Registration is $27 for adults ($30 after 4/30) and $20 for children 4-12 years old ($25 after 4/30). All proceeds from the event go to the County’s Polinsky Children’s Center Trust Fund that benefits children in foster care.

Even if you can’t make the event, you can still make a contribution by becoming a “virtual runner” for $25. You will receive a commemorative Live Well 5K t-shirt and runners bib.

County employees can register as a team. Designate someone as your team captain and have them register first. They can set up your team as part of their registration. The other team members can then select that team name when they register.

Runners and spectators can enjoy music, a kid’s fun zone with games and activities, exhibitors and refreshments at the end of the race.

Volunteers are also needed. There are a variety of opportunities from registering participants to manning a water station to monitoring the course for safety issues. Volunteers will receive an official Live Well San Diego 5K event t-shirt and refreshments at the Fun Zone after the race.
