The Lunar New Year 5k takes place along Shoreline’s Interurban Trail on Sunday, February 23, 2020 in celebration of the Year of the Rat. 

Festivities will include a traditional lion dance for good fortune and firecrackers to chase away evil spirits in honor of the Lunar New Year, the most important Chinese holiday.

Registration is $35 and attendees under the age of 14 or 65 and older can participate for free. Participants will receive a time chip, bib, Lunar New Year 5k tee-shirt and other special giveaways from ICHS, sponsors and vendors. Day-of-registration is $50 while space lasts.
