Scenic 5K run looking for sponsors

-- Noaki Schwartz

The 19th annual Corona del Mar Scenic 5K is looking for sponsors.

Organizers are expecting more than 3,000 participants to show up to the

June 3 event.

Various levels of sponsorship are available, including the opportunity to

have a business logo printed on the back of this year’s race T-shirt.

There will be separate races for men and women and several other events,

including a 2-mile fun walk and a 1K kids run.

Runners will follow Corona del Mar’s oceanfront bluffs and wind through

residential areas. Walkers will travel a different route.

The top three finishers in each category will receive awards, including

each child participant.

All registrants will receive T-shirts and breakfast. The gourmet

breakfasts will be provided by the eateries along the race’s “restaurant

row.”

The deadline to sign up for sponsorship is today.

For more information or to register, call Marilyn Fisher with Newport

Community Services at (949) 644-3159.
