CLEARLAKE, Calif. — The Lake County Chamber of Commerce will host the second annual 5K Fun Run/Walk and Health Expo on Saturday, Sept. 9.

The event will kick off that day at 8 a.m. with a 5K fun run that will start and end in Austin Park in Clearlake.

The carefully curated course will allow the runners to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the business district along the shores of Clear Lake, Redbud Park and some residential neighborhoods of the area.

After the fun run/walk, the entire community is invited to enjoy the Health Expo.

Lakeshore Drive will be closed between Olympic Drive and Division Avenue, allowing expo-goers direct access to Austin Beach.

Additionally, there will be free fitness classes and demos, vendors with various health-related focuses, and lots of local food available for purchase.

The Lake County Chamber of Commerce is committed to elevating the economic vitality and prosperity of every region of our county.

The combination of an outdoor, active event that highlights a local business district is well-aligned with that mission.

The cost to participate in the 5K fun run is only $25 through Aug. 18, which includes a special edition t-shirt.

Registrations are accepted until Sept. 8, with costs increasing to $35 after the early bird deadline.

T-shirts are guaranteed for runners that register by Aug. 18. Participants may register for the fun run at https://www.lakecochamber.com/move-lake-county/.

There is also a link to register for a vendor booth at the Health Expo.

Please contact the Lake County Chamber of Commerce at 707-263-5092 with any questions.

Proceeds from this event will benefit programs and activities that support the local economy such as the Certified Tourism Ambassador Program.
