Tonight marks the last day runners will hit the streets of Santa Monica as part of a fund-raising effort to benefit recreation areas within the city.
Nike kicked off its Nike Glo Run on Jan. 23 with 75 runners, which generated $375. Nike donates $5 per runner, with proceeds going to restore public recreation areas like the popular running trails on San Vicente and the stairs off of Fourth Street and Adelaide Drive.
Nike has set up a route of three-and five-mile runs, and runners are provided with blinking armbands. Afterwards, runners gather at Marix Tex Mex located at 118 Entrada Drive in Santa Monica for a post-run cool down for food, drinks, music and a raffle of Nike’s running gear.
Anyone interested in joining the final event, show up at Marix Tex Mex at 6 p.m. today.
