This popular event invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to Woodley Park in Lake Balboa for a day of fitness and community, all while supporting the WeSPARK Cancer Support Center and its vital free programs for cancer patients and their loved ones.

The chip-timed 5K and 10K courses are celebrated for being fast, flat, and scenic, winding around the picturesque Lake Balboa, making them ideal for both competitive runners seeking a personal best and casual walkers enjoying the outdoors. Families will appreciate that the courses are stroller and dog-friendly (leashed dogs welcome), with a special Kids FUN RUN for ages 3-11, ensuring something for every member of the family. A unique highlight includes the "Kaya Medals" awarded to top canine finishers, a touching tribute to Kaya The Husky. Participants can look forward to typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 69°F and lows around 50°F, and a low 8% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the race, the event at Woodley Park Section 1 (6076 Woodley Ave) transforms into a vibrant celebration, featuring a vendor expo, raffle prizes, great music, and the engaging presence of Mark Walberg as the Master of Ceremonies. All 5K and 10K registrants receive a commemorative T-shirt and finisher medal, with age division awards adding a competitive edge. Packet pick-up kicks off at 7:30 AM, with races starting at 9:00 AM. Join this fantastic, family-friendly event and contribute to a meaningful cause.
