With more than 1,500 participants expected, the event is a 5K/10K microchip-timed, ASATF-certified race that attracts professional and amateur runners from around the world. The 1-mile walk/run is available for participants who would like to support Meals On Wheels at a slower pace. Each of the first 1,500 participants to register for Love Run will receive a goody bag with a Vapur water bottle, a pair of Nathan Lock Laces, Gogo Squeez apple sauce and other items. The Love Run Vendor Expo will have food, beverages, running accessories and informational booths, as well as a special kid’s corner. New this year is an incentive program that invites participants to raise funds for the Meals on Wheels program and receive prizes for their efforts, including Vapur water bottles, Tek shirts, duffle bags and fleece pullovers. Also new is the Fitness Challenge, which encourages local sport and fitness clubs to participate in a competition for the fastest group in the Conejo Valley. Love Run supports Senior Concerns’ Meals on Wheels Program that helps ensure homebound seniors do not go without food. The program delivers two nutritious, freshly prepared meals to local seniors almost every day. Along with the meals, the participants have the added benefit of a daily visit from a caring volunteer. Last year, volunteers delivered 41,852 meals. Funds raised from the Love Run enable Senior Concerns to provide Meals on Wheels scholarships to those who cannot afford the program. Registration fees for the 5K/10K are $35 through June 1 and $40 on race day. Fees for the 1-mile are $25 through June 1 and $30 on race day.
