HELP OUT: Half Marathon & 5K with the La Jolla Kiwanis Club

Save to Favorites

The La Jolla Kiwanis Half Marathon & 5K is nearly 50 years old and is their biggest event of the year. Last year, the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla generated more than $550K in grants that went right back into their community. This year, they are expecting to raise a great deal more!

Driven by their objective to donate as much as possible back into the community, their Kiwanis team is entirely volunteer operated and organizes this event on volunteer hours alone. Having a dedicated group of volunteers allows them to almost eliminate any paid personnel at their Expo and Race Day events. Over 400 volunteers are needed to put this event on, so they literally could not have such an amazing impact on their community without them.

The La Jolla Kiwanis Club will provide volunteers with a shirt, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks.
