Loma Linda University Health’s Living Whole employee wellness program has added running to its list of promoted activities, which include nutrition education and counseling, as well as a variety programs to increase physical and emotional wellness among approximately 14,000 LLUH employees and more than 4,000 students.
The Lopers 24th Annual Holiday Classic race will take place on Sunday, December 1. LLUH employees and students are encouraged to sign up. The annual race will include a half marathon, 5k run, and a quarter-mile “Elves Trot” for children ages 3 to 6. Loma Linda University Health is title sponsor for the event.
The race will begin at the intersection of Barton Road and Loma Linda Drive, near the Loma Linda Civic Center.
As an incentive for LLUH employees and students, the Living Whole employee wellness program will provide a $40 credit toward sign-up fees for the event when employees and students provide their EID number when they register. The EID number is located on their employee identification badge.
Those who register before November 15 will also receive a free T-shirt at the end of the race while supplies last.
Thursday, November 28, is the final day for online registration. Race day registration begins at 6:00 a.m. The half marathon and 5K will start at 7:00 a.m., followed by the Elves Trot at 8:00 a.m.
A free pancake breakfast will also be provided for half-marathon and 5K participants. For fees, sign-up, and additional race information, visit http://www.lopersclub.org/holiday-classic.aspx.
