Healthy Family 5K Run/Walk coming April 8

Runners and walkers will hits the road on April 8 at West Los Angeles College for the 4th annual Culver City Health Family 5K Run/Walk. The event is sponsored by the Culver-Palms YMCA.

The fourth annual Culver City Healthy Family 5K Run/Walk will be held on Sunday, April 8 at West L.A. College in Culver City. The Culver City Family 5K Run/Walk plays a crucial role in our ongoing effort to strengthen community.

“We bring families together for a morning of exercise, fun and entertainment to encourage adopting habits that support a healthy, creative, more satisfying life,” a YMCA official said.

Running as a team can be great fun. The YMCA offer discounts to teams of five runners and more. “Forming a team offers a wonderful opportunity for organizations to encourage their employees to sign up and extend their experience in the 5K to a regular fitness program,” a Y official said.

The event also features a Kiddie Run—once around the football field—that starts around 10:15 a.m.. There will be snacks and refreshments after the 5K Race and plenty of fun and educational activities for kids.

Proceeds will benefit youth and family programs at the Culver-Palms Family YMCA. We offer adults, families and children in the community, regardless of their ability to pay, access to programs and resources necessary to grow strong and flourish.

“A big thank you goes to our generous sponsors whose support has been crucial in making this event happen: our Title Sponsor Cedars-Sinai, Miller & Todd Realtors, FastSigns Culver City, Rotary Club of Culver City, Pacific Alarm Systems, McComb Orthodontics, and Benny’s Tacos.”
