Coldwell Banker Sponsors Annual Will Rogers Races

With the 28th annual Palisades-Will Rogers 5/10K races right around the corner, pre-registration for the Fourth of July event, along with a Kids’ Fun Run, is now underway at the Palisades Recreation Center. Sponsored for the fifth consecutive year by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage of Greater Los Angeles, the race will wind through streets of Huntington Palisades and on to the grueling switchbacks of Will Rogers State Park. Proceeds will go to the Pacific Palisades Optimist Club to benefit local youth activities. One of the more popular and most difficult 10K races in California, Will Rogers has consistently attracted over 3,000 participants of all ages, from young children to seniors 80 and over. Past races have included runners from all over the United States and even other countries. ‘Coldwell Banker’s commitment and dedication to the community it serves remains intensely at the heart of our goals and visions,’ said Betty Graham, president and COO of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Greater Los Angeles. ‘We have always believed that Coldwell Banker is only as strong as the community that surrounds us and we are extremely proud to continue this community tradition.’ To obtain pre-registration forms for the 5K, 10K and Kids’ Run, visit either of two local Coldwell Banker locations: Palisades West (15240 Sunset Boulevard) or Palisades East (15101 Sunset Boulevard). The entry fee for the 5/10K is $25 and the fee for the Kids’ Run is $10 for those registering before Monday, June 27. Race-day registration will be conducted at the Pali Rec Center from 6:30 a.m. until 8 a.m. for an additional $10. The 5/10K races will begin at 8:15 sharp while the Kids’ Run will follow at 9:15 a.m. Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers in 28 divisions(14 male and 14 female) in the 5/10K races. The Kid’s Run, for ages 12 and under, is non-competitive and each participant will receive a ribbon and a flag.
