The annual event demonstrated the power of sports to inspire community engagement while generating critical resources for nonprofit organizations serving local families and neighborhoods. Held in the Riviera Village area of South Redondo Beach, the LA Kings 5K welcomed participants of all ages and abilities through both in-person and virtual participation opportunities, creating an inclusive experience centered on health, connection and philanthropy.
