Q: Will the Senior Concerns Love Run take place this year?
A: Yes. The 19th Annual Love Run is scheduled for June 3. Registration and start of activities will be at 2815 Townsgate Road in Thousand Oaks.
Registration is at 6:30 a.m. The 10-kilometer run is scheduled for 7:45 a.m., the 5K for 8 a.m. and the one-mile fun run and Betty Berry Brigade for 9:15 a.m.
The 5K and 10K are on a USA Track & Field-certified chip-timed out and back flat course around Westlake Lake. Final times will be provided, and awards will be given to the top three male and three female finishers in all age groups. Children younger than 11 who participate in the fun run will get medals.
Early registration is $35, and registration June 3 is $40. Fees include bib numbers, timing, medals, T-shirts for the first 1,500 entrants and a post-race party and refreshments.
Registration can be completed online at https://www.seniorconcerns.org, via entry form mailed to Senior Concerns at 401 Hodencamp Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 or on the day of the event.
For more information about the race call 497-0189 or email theloverun@gmail.com.
The Love Run is a major fundraiser for Senior Concerns’ Meals-on-Wheels program. All proceeds go toward providing meals to homebound elderly people who cannot shop or prepare meals for themselves.
Forming teams for the races can be a great way to spotlight a business and increase community awareness of the event. Contact Stephanie at 497-0189 or stephanie@seniorconcerns.org to receive a team packet.
