BREA : 8-K Run Will Benefit High School Programs

Registration is under way for the Brea 8-K Classic Road Race. This fourth annual “fun run” will begin at 8 a.m. Feb. 26 at the Brea Mall. From 600 to 700 runners are expected.

Proceeds from the event will support the academic, track and field, and cross country booster clubs at Brea-Olinda High School.

Winner of the men’s open division in 1994 was Valencia High School cross country coach Joey Gomez, who turned in a time of 24 minutes and 36 seconds. The women’s open division was won last year by former Olympian Ruth Wysocki, whose time was 29 minutes and 20 seconds.

The race entry fee is $15 before Feb. 15 and $18 after. The fee includes payment for a commemorative T-shirt.

Registration forms can be obtained at the Brea Civic & Cultural Center, the Brea Chamber of Commerce, the Brea Mall and sporting goods stores in the city.
