The Grand Prix Foundation of Long Beach has added a new event to its \u201cCharity Days\u201d lineup, a 5K race that will incorporate much of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach race circuit.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to take place Sunday, April 8, 2018, the \u201cRun The Course\u201d event entry fees will benefit Long Beach area charities that include the Long Beach Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House, Century Club and Operation Jump Start, according to a release.<\/p>\n

The race starts at 8:00AM and ends at 9:30AM. It will incorporate much of the Grand Prix race circuit, starting at the official start\/finish line on Shoreline Drive, heading up Pine Avenue and Seaside Way, returning to Shoreline Drive for the finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about adding the \u2018Run The Course\u2019 event to our charity days lineup,\u201d said Rick Duree, the foundation\u2019s president, in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way for race fans and runners of all abilities to come out and experience the Grand Prix race course while giving back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5K run will join the Grand Prix Foundation\u2019s Monte Carlo Night, scheduled to take place April 13 in downtown Long Beach. The 2018 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach will take place April 13-15<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More information, including entry fees, will be available when registration for the 5K opens in early January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
