Lynwood 5K/10K

Lace up for the 5th annual Lynwood 5K/10K on Saturday, May 9, 2026, an inspiring race that weaves through the heart of Lynwood, California. Beginning and ending directly in front of Lynwood City Hall at 11330 Bullis Rd, this event offers a fast and flat course perfect for all abilities, from seasoned runners to those tackling their first 5K. Runners will enjoy a straightforward route primarily along city streets and sidewalks, with hydration pit stops conveniently placed throughout the course to keep you fueled. Typical race day conditions in early May are ideal for running, with comfortable highs around 71F and lows near 58F, and only a 1% chance of rain.

More than just a race, the Lynwood 5K/10K is a vibrant community celebration dedicated to a powerful cause. Proceeds directly benefit the Lynwood Partners Educational Foundation (LPEF), providing vital resources and enhancing educational programs for students within the Lynwood Unified School District, helping them become college or career-ready. The energy at previous events has been described as "electric," drawing over 700 participants who come together to celebrate health, community, and the spirit of giving back.

Participants can choose between the 5K or 10K distances, making it a perfect fit for runners of all levels. Every finisher will receive a commemorative medal, and the first 1,000 participants to pick up their bib will receive a race T-shirt. Don't miss this opportunity to challenge yourself, experience a supportive community atmosphere, and run for a purpose that directly impacts local students.
