More than 1,500 runners are expected to start the holiday season off by raising money for charity at the 5th Annual Village Runner 5K Christmas Run/Walk on Saturday morning, December 8. The race starts at 8 a.m. at the Redondo Beach Elks Lodge, located next to the Redondo Pier, at the intersection of Catalina Ave. and Torrance Blvd.

An old-fashioned pancake breakfast, made possible through a generous donation from Ruby’s Diner, will provide the runners, friends, and families with a delicious carbo-loading opportunity before and after the race itself. The breakfast will be held from 7 to 11 a.m. The cost is $5 per person. Strolling carolers will add to the holiday atmosphere.
