Walter Reed has their inaugural Innovation Run coming up on the CBS Studios Center Backlot and streets of Studio City. This inaugural event includes a 10K Run & 5K Run/Walk that benefits Walter Reed Middle School & Friends of Reed. There will be the ever popular Food Trucks & prizes for some attendees. After the race everyone is welcome to enjoy the fun at the Renaissance Faire of the Ages at the school grounds.

Both the 10K and 5K races will begin at 8AM on Saturday, March 29th, 2014. The Kiddie Fun Run will begin at 9:30AM within the Expo. RaceWire is the timing company and each bib will have a chip embedded. You will receive your chip-timed bib at packet pick-up! Race results will be posted within the Expo and at RaceWire’s website after our event. There be water stations and mile markers on the course and an awards ceremony for the top three Male and Female Finishers in each age division for both the 10K and 5K. An award will be given out for the Overall Male and FemaleWinners in the 10K and 5K.

In addition to paying your entry fee and lacing up your shoes, you can do some fundraising for Reed. This will make you feel good and for every $100 raised, you will receive a $20 gift card from Sport’s Authority or Trader Joe’s! For example, if you raise $1,000, you will receive $200 in gift cards. You can use them for yourself or give them away as a gift. Please note: gift cards are awarded in increments of $100 fundraising levels only. So, if you raise $200, you will receive $40 in gift cards but if you raise $175, you will only receive a $20 gift card. Gift cards will be distributed at Packet Pick-up on Friday, March 28th and Saturday, March 29th ONLY. The deadline for gift card eligibility is Friday, March 28th at 6PM. Friends of Reed is happy to accept donations all year long on your behalf, but meeting the fundraising incentive for your free gift cards ends at 6PM on Friday, March 28th.
