A new course and plenty of enhancements will greet participants in the third Live Well San Diego 5K that takes place on Saturday, July 30. The run/walk benefits the lifesaving work of the San Diego Blood Bank.

There will be a Kids’ Zone with an inflatable obstacle course, balloon artists and a kids’ drum circle. A Pet Zone for leashed pets will feature over 15 pet-related exhibitors including on-site adoption opportunities. An Innovation Zone will have games and information highlighting some of San Diego’s health and innovation leaders.
Music performances will entertain and fitness instructions will lead dance and Zumba classes throughout the event. Free drinks and snack will be available as well as exhibits by County departments and Live Well San Diego partners.
